detect defective nic-ports possible?

hey,

we have many esx servers and hundreds of vm-server.

in the past we had a problem about a defect nic. a lonely port causes a lot of damage.

the most files, which went over the defective vmnic, were corrupt.

we had a lot of problems about the troubleshooting.

has anybody any ideas of pretend such single nic-port-defects?

maybe some scripts for ESX to alert us before the damage is still small?

it would be nice to minimize the time of detection.

thank you!

Welcome to the community.

To test if a single NIC works, you can try to enable beacon probing.
