Hello,
I'm having a strange issue. I'm using an HP Microserver Gen8 with an HP NC550SFP Dual 10GB Card (made by Emulex). The card is correctly identified and shows alive. Because I'd rather not buy an $800 10GB switch for 4 servers, I'm directly connecting this NC550 to the identical card in my 2 ESX hosts; dual port card so each port goes direct to one of the 2 hosts. Only one of the ESX hosts is online right now to simplify testing. I've configured the network as follows:
FreeNAS oce0...
10GB NIC direct connected can't ping.
