I'm stubborn and did the same as you fizzyade ​I bought a newer x520 as well and I get the same errors as you. vmkernel.log:0:00:00:05.391 cpu0:2097152)WARNING: PCI: 452: 0000:07:00.0: Failed to add BAR[2] (IO f=0x1 0x4020-0x4040) - out of resources on parent: 0000:06:01.0 vmkernel.log:0:00:00:05.391 cpu0:2097152)WARNING: PCI: 475: 0000:07:00.0: Failed to add BAR[2] (IO f=0x1 0x4020-0x4040) status: Limit exceeded vmkernel.log:0:00:00:05.391 cpu0:2097152)WARNING: PCI: 452: 0000:07:00.1: Failed to add BAR[2] (IO f=0x1 0x4000-0x4020) - out of resources on parent: 0000:06:01.0 vmkernel.log:0:00:00:05.391 cpu0:2097152)WARNING: PCI: 475: 0000:07:00.1: Failed to add BAR[2] (IO f=0x1 0x4000-0x4020) status: Limit exceeded vmkernel.log:0:00:00:05.398 cpu0:2097152)WARNING: PCI: 678: 0000:07:00.0: Unable to free BAR[2] (IO f=0x1 0x4020-0x4040): Limit exceeded vmkernel.log:0:00:00:05.398 cpu0:2097152)WARNING: PCI: 678: 0000:07:00.0: Unable to free BAR[4] (MEM64 f=0x4 0x90080000-0x90084000): Not found vmkernel.log:0:00:00:05.398 cpu0:2097152)WARNING: PCI: 678: 0000:07:00.1: Unable to free BAR[2] (IO f=0x1 0x4000-0x4020): Limit exceeded vmkernel.log:0:00:00:05.398 cpu0:2097152)WARNING: PCI: 678: 0000:07:00.1: Unable to free BAR[4] (MEM64 f=0x4 0x90200000-0x90204000): Not found vmkernel.log:2019-09-27T22:14:35.641Z cpu6:2097563)DEBUG (ne1000): mapped BAR[0]: start = c0b00000, size = 20000, mapped to 450185f40000 vmkwarning.log:0:00:00:05.391 cpu0:2097152)WARNING: PCI: 452: 0000:07:00.0: Failed to add BAR[2] (IO f=0x1 0x4020-0x4040) - out of resources on parent: 0000:06:01.0 vmkwarning.log:0:00:00:05.391 cpu0:2097152)WARNING: PCI: 475: 0000:07:00.0: Failed to add BAR[2] (IO f=0x1 0x4020-0x4040) status: Limit exceeded vmkwarning.log:0:00:00:05.391 cpu0:2097152)WARNING: PCI: 452: 0000:07:00.1: Failed to add BAR[2] (IO f=0x1 0x4000-0x4020) - out of resources on parent: 0000:06:01.0 vmkwarning.log:0:00:00:05.391 cpu0:2097152)WARNING: PCI: 475: 0000:07:00.1: Failed to add BAR[2] (IO f=0x1 0x4000-0x4020) status: Limit exceeded vmkwarning.log:0:00:00:05.398 cpu0:2097152)WARNING: PCI: 678: 0000:07:00.0: Unable to free BAR[2] (IO f=0x1 0x4020-0x4040): Limit exceeded vmkwarning.log:0:00:00:05.398 cpu0:2097152)WARNING: PCI: 678: 0000:07:00.0: Unable to free BAR[4] (MEM64 f=0x4 0x90080000-0x90084000): Not found vmkwarning.log:0:00:00:05.398 cpu0:2097152)WARNING: PCI: 678: 0000:07:00.1: Unable to free BAR[2] (IO f=0x1 0x4000-0x4020): Limit exceeded vmkwarning.log:0:00:00:05.398 cpu0:2097152)WARNING: PCI: 678: 0000:07:00.1: Unable to free BAR[4] (MEM64 f=0x4 0x90200000-0x90204000): Not found We're not the only ones having this issue: https://medium.com/@adrian_65383/ok-so-i-got-that-10gtek-and-plugged-it-in-but-having-the-same-issue-its-seen-by-esxi-bu… Any chance this can be addressed in an ESXi release, or would this have to be solved by a BIOS update by Intel?

Ugh, I had checked before but I just looked up the VID/DID; when I entered the subvendor ID I see that nothing comes up for that card. Well, thanks TomHowarth​ I'm just happy to understand why the card just wasn't working. I had updated the firmware on the card earlier tonight but to no avail; so moral of the story: check the darn SVID.

Thanks for the reply. Al least for me the SFP+ modules are Intel FTLX8571D3BCVIT1 which are explicitly mentioned as compatible by Intel for this card (SFP+ Modules, SFP Modules, and Cables Compatible with Intel® Ethernet... ). So, ashishsingh1508 can you kindly explain what firmware you're referring to? On the nic itself? I believe the firmware is current for the card.

Hey there, I have what looks like the same issue as ElliottN with some X520-DA2 Dual Port 10GE NIC (FWIW with correct and genuine Intel SFP+ modules) in an Intel NUC8i5BEH (with latest BIOS firmware) machine connected via a Sonnet Echo Express SEL Thunderbolt 3 PCIe expansion chassis. I know this card works just fine because when I boot into ubuntu I'm able to use the card without error. I've tried many versions of the ixgben driver, all have yielded the same results (PCI device is detected but esxcfg-nics -l only yields the built in ethernet adapter -- here's a list of the drivers I've tried so far: 1.7.1-1OEM.670.0.0.7535516 1.7.1.16-1vmw.670.3.73.14320388 1.7.10-1OEM.670.0.0.8169922 1.7.15-1OEM.670.0.0.8169922 1.7.17-1OEM.670.0.0.8169922 1.7.20-1OEM.670.0.0.8169922 Every time I reboot after esxcli software vib install I get only the built-in ethernet adapter, and not the ixgben driven adapter. Also, when I run vmkload_mod -l | grep ixgben I've never seen the ixgben driver get loaded, although I do see the ixgben driver eg: esxcli software vib list | grep ixgben ixgben                         1.7.10-1OEM.670.0.0.8169922           INT     VMwareCertified   2019-09-14 Also, here's the evidence the PCI devices are detected. lspci -v | grep -A1 -i ethernet 0000:00:1f.6 Network controller Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (6) I219-V [vmnic0]   Class 0200: 8086:15be -- 0000:07:00.0 Network controller Ethernet controller: Intel(R) 82599 10 Gigabit Dual Port Network Connection   Class 0200: 8086:10fb -- 0000:07:00.1 Network controller Ethernet controller: Intel(R) 82599 10 Gigabit Dual Port Network Connection   Class 0200: 8086:10fb I'm relatively new to ESXi/vsphere but I've learned a lot troubleshooting this. Curious if there's something I'm missing to add the card? I don't see any errors like TomAtTritium does regarding the SFP+ modules. Any help would be appreciated. Failing that, maybe a recommendation for a card that will work without this much hassle. Thanks, Andrew
