ESXI 6.7 U3 problem pinging Lenovo X3650 M5 IMM shared port IP Address

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help in case I am missing something.

I have an X3650 M5 with Emulex VFA 5 10 GB MLE Adapter. The adapter is set so the IMM2 shares the 10GB port for management.

I have ESXI 6.7 U3 lenovo custom build which works fine without isues. I installed Lenovo Xclarity Administrator successfully but does not discover the IMM2 IP address. At first I thought it was just an issue with XClarity but using a Windows 2019 VM found that had the same issue. The IMM2 will ping successfully on any machine other than itself.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Simon
