Good morning.
I am having an issue with 2 new blades. I am running a HPE c7000 blade system. I have 6 Proliant BL460c Gen 6 blades, 2 Proliant 460c Gen 8 blades, and I have just purchased 2 Proliant 460c Gen 10 blades. The original 8 blades are running ESXi 4.1 and the 2 new blades I have installed ESXi 6.7 on. All blades are configured with the same management network and vlan. For some reason I am not able to get the management interface on my 2 Gen 10 blades to ping my gateway IP address even though they are configured on the same IP network. I had this issue 5 years ago when I installed the Gen 8 blades but was able to work with HP to get issue resolved. They are not giving me much help currently. Said it is a software related issue with ESXi. I think the issue had something to do with the FlexxFabric 10GB 2 port 536FLB adapters and their configuration. When I look at the onboard administrator for my blade both the Gen 8 and Gen 10 blades show the adapters as HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port. When I check the network status on my ESXi the Gen 8 blades have them labeled as vmnic0 (NIC Port 1) and the Gen 10 blades have them labeled as vmnic0 (Embedded Flexible LOM 1 Port 1). Not sure if this may be what is causing an issue. Maybe a configuration issue with the network cards themselves. Thank you for any assistance that you can offer. Chris
