Hello - I am in the process of deploying a Dell PE FX2 and I am having some issues with the LAN connection.
Config -
4 FC630 Blades with ESXi 5.5 on each
A1/ A2 - 8 1GBE PASS-THROUGH MODULES on each I/O Module = 16 Total
PCI Slot 1,2,4,6,8 each have a Ethernet Server Adapter I350-T2
iDRAC also set up on each Blade server
CMCs also setup in Redundant mode.
I can PING the iDRAC and CMC IP address but I cannot PING the ESXi Host.
As I understand we should be using Ports 3,4 on A1 (A2 is the Failover) and PCIe 5,6 should be the connections for the SAN?
The ESXi Host sees something connected to it when a patch cable is plugged into Port 3. It displays Connected next to the NIC in the ESXi Management Network Config but I cannot PING the Host and the Host cannot PING the Gateway.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
