      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I just performed an update of an DL580G7 host with VMware Update Manger which includes the HP vibsdepot and also an SPP update with HP SUM. My NC550SFP NIC has now the following combination.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;~ # ethtool -i vmnic4&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;driver: be2net&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;version: 10.5.65.4&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;firmware-version: 4.9.416.7&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;bus-info: 0000:0e:00.0&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Right now everything seems to be working just fine, I can ping the host and also the VMs. But I'm a bit nervous because of the notes in the HP recipe about NC550SFP NIC. Did you update you driver/firmware combination since you last post?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
