Hi All,
This is not your usual sg3/ESX/Windows driver issue......
We have 4 vSphere 5.5 Servers running on the same hardware (R720 with On-Board Broadcom 5720s) and during a reboot the entire switch its connected to gets flooded and we experience huge packet loss to anything that is connect to the switch.
After the Lifecycle Controller initiates (just before it boots to the OS), its fine and it's also fine within vSphere - never drops a packet.
We have updated all Lifecycle controllers/BIOS's to the latest firmware, but nothing seems to resolve it - it also happens if the server is physically powered down but has power.
This happens on all 4 vSphere boxes and it cannot be a fault with all 4 servers - anyone have any idea? or seen this before?
Thanks
↧
