I have installed ESXi5.5 in a server with Emulex OneConnect 10Gb NICs.
I have installed the last driver for this nic - elxnet-10.0.575.9-1OEM.550.0.0.1331820.x86_64.vib.
After some network activity of virtual machines, the interfaces go down, even the switch ports are up.

vmnic5 0000:05:00.01 elxnet Down 0Mbps Half 00:00:c9:e4:13:18 9000 Emulex Corporation OneConnect 10Gb NIC
Here is the logs

Anyone have a similiar trouble?
Hello,
Did someone test with 6.0 or 6.5 build with IBM HS23 blade? Any progress? We still have network glitch with ESXI build 5.5
Anyone got a solution for this?
We get the same errors on Fujitsu RX2540M4 with Emulex OneConnect OCe14102 NIC, current firmware and driver running ESX6.5U2b.
So everything is up-to-date and on the HCL but still some times after some network activity the "UE Detected!!" pops up in the logs and both ports of the card go down.

If the nic card is compatible according HCL
If the nic drivers are up to date
Compatible with ESXi version post this if you are still facing network issues , it would also be helpful to get hardware vendor involved and get there update on same .
Most of the time the issue is with firmware, once thats updated issue will be resolved.
