[cisco-voip] BE7K Network card issue

Wed Apr 8 10:33:04 EDT 2015

I just turned up 6 BE7k’s this week, integrated to UCS Fabric Interconnects, but the NIC’s showed up out of the gate no problem.

Have you reseated the cards or tried swapping with known working cards?

I’ve definitely seen bad risers in out of box failures before . . . not two in one batch though.

Did you use the Cisco ESXI custom image?

It has custom drivers for the server.

Hi All

I have four BE7K (UCS C240 M3S) servers that have the two quad port network cards, they all came prebuilt with ESXi 5.5 U2 on them, however only the on-board Nic's show up anywhere, I cant see the quad card ports in the BIOS, CIMC or ESXi?

I have the ports on the quad cards patched and the switchports come up but cannot get the ports to appear, have checked BIOS etc but cannot see where they woudl be enabled.

Anyone come across anything like this before?

Regards

Nick
