Still fuzzy on whether or not the driver will be automatically switched over when upgrading past 6.5 but at least I can find the card and supported drivers now.

Sticking with software initiator for now but may test out hardware later. Solved! The card is listed as Marvell FastLinq 57810 DP 10Gb DA/SFP+ CNA So 2 things, 1, can I not use the hardware initiators and should I look at moving to a new driver because version 7 drops support for bnx2x? Oh and also, how the heck do I pinpoint what exact card I'm running? And also from looking at that above article, it says HW iSCSI is not supported on the new qfle3 driver. The 57810 supports iSCSI directly so why not offload all the processing to the cards because I was under the impression that it was supported? The original setup guide that was used can no longer be found and I'm wondering if driver support lacked back then? (This was when 6.0 was released). Our setup was created using the iSCSI Software Adapter and not directly using the cards themselves and I never knew why. qlogic corporation netxtreme ii bcm57810 10 gigabit ethernet for esxi ->when i check the nic compatibility using the below general io devices search (using did,svid,ssid,vid),i see the dell branded nics using the same id's (did,svid,ssid,vid) there instead of qlogic. Sorry for sidetracking, back to the main point. Taken from - qfle3 is a native driver that replaces the vmklinux net-bnx2x driver, but does not support HW iSCSI and SW FCoE. I'm currently running the bnx2x driver on ESXi but I can see that the latest support past 6.5 is qfle3 (and I'm guessing in my case specifically the i variant due to iSCSI). I know Broadcom and QLogic merged a while back and left some nice confusion in branding but I don't know if the names even matter with regards to looking for drivers. HP, Broadcom, QLogic, Dell, so many companies use this chipset. When I look on VMware's HCL for 57810, holy hell is it everywhere. VCenter says: Broadcom Corporation QLogic 57810 10 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter The iDRAC of the server blade says: QLogic 577xx/578xx 10 Gb Ethernet BCM57810ĭell OpenManage says: QLogic 577xx/578xx 10 Gb Ethernet BCM57810 The iDRAC of the server chassis says: Broadcom Limited NetXtreme II BCM57810 10 Gigabit Ethernet Compellent iSCSI array (SC4020) and on the ESXi side each server blade has a.

The issue started when I was looking at how our storage is configured.

Okay so I've been re-evaluating our vSphere cluster and whether it was setup properly or not and I get not touching it if it's not broken but I can't help but think it can be done better (and with what I've been reading I will need to change stuff for future releases anyways).
