I'm having some issues with the R730XD and the Intel X710 4x10G optical NIC (integrated).
I've disabled network partitioning on the interfaces, since we're not exploring that right now. However, during an attempt to IPXE, I noticed that IPXE detects the NIC, but registers a MAC address of 00:00:00:00:00:00, which obviously fails.
it's impacting my VMware Auto Deploy options.
I also notice that when I do enable Npar on the NIC interface, the virtual MAC address is 00:00:00:00:00:00 as well.
This is an invalid MAC for DHCP and for PXE, so there is no point to have it and enable the PXE feature.
If anyone has any advice, let me know as I'm on the latest BIOS / Firmware.
