Hello - I recently obtained a dell CS24-SC and I have installed ESXi 5.1 onto it. So far so good. My only problem is with one of my network adapters not fully functioning.
The host has two onboard gigabit network ports. As far as I know they are Intel 82567 Gigabit Ethernet controllers. One of them works just fine with no issues at all. The second one doesn't fully appear to be working. ESXi is able to detect whether it is plugged into a 100/1000 port just fine but for some reason it doesn't allow network communications. Any guest I add this this adapter is not able to communicate with the network. I have also tried forcing this adapter to be used for the management network and I loose access to the server when I do that.
Just to make sure the NIC works I have installed Windows Server 2012 and it is able to use both ports at gigabit speeds.
The two NICs show up like this: http://i.imgur.com/ctAqtbu.png
Any ideas?
Thanks.
