Hi Admins,

Trying to upgrade my hosts to version 6.0 but run into some issues.

Bl 460 gen 9

Intel Xeon E5-2699

HP FlexFabric 10gb 2-port 536flb adapter

Advice?

Cheers

Please confirm the following:

1. Did you applied the latest HP Proliant Pack (April 2015) to your server?

2. Have you downloaded the HP customized ESXi image Download VMware vSphere

Hi Illusion,

1. Did you applied the latest HP Proliant Pack (April 2015) to your server? 

2. Have you downloaded the HP customized ESXi image Download VMware vSphere

Yes to both.

Have you tried to disable the card in BIOS and install ESXi6.0? After installation try to enable the card and if ESXi will not find it please try to install the driver for HP Flex 536FLB VMware vSphere 5: Private Cloud  Computing, Server and Data Center Virtualization

This driver is compatible with ESXi 6.0 according to the VMware compatibility guide.

Server has been rebooted several times.

"Virtual Connect Flex" has been patched with the latest firmware.

Downgrade firmware on blade then upgrade firmware (HP_SPP)

Created a new server profile for the blade and then it started to work!??

Really don't know which of my action that solved the issue, but now things works as they should 

Case closed.
