So when i install ESXi, my 4 IP network adapters are labelled NIC1, 2, 5, 6.
All my other blades (60 odd) are smart enough to realise this and number the IP adapters as NIC1, 2, 3, 4....but i have 2 blades that just will not budge from NIC1, 2, 5, 6.
I'm seeing the same issue with a BL460c Gen9 with a 630FLB in Xenserver 6.5. I don't want to use FCoE, I just want to use this as a NIC, and an HBA. I can't get an answer from HP if that is possible, as everything on the 630FLB nic is showing that it is FCoE.
I have the 554FLB and it works as a FC HBA and a NIC - that's what I want the 630 to do.
Similar issue on the WIndows side of things, if I configure the 630FLB on a 460c Gen9 to be ALL NICs(no FC) and I have the hide unused flexnics check, NICs 3&4 show up as "Not pluggin in".
How many blades do you have in total and how many are experiencing the issue with the IP network adapter labeling?
