Is there a way to make it work with esxi 6.5? Or to extract e1000e driver from esxi6.0 ISO (or system) andinstalll it on 6. In release notes there is only information " Intel i219 NIC might hang and lose networking connectivity", so I assume it should work. Hot-plugging devices on the Thunderbolt bus reliably PSODs the server, but otherwise, Ive been using in my home lab for over a month without incident. VMware ESXI 6.0 ESXi-6.0.0-20190904001-standard ESXi-6.0.

In this case, perform the following operations to use the legacy USB.

The new vmkusb driver was released and it is used by default for all USB host controllers and USB devices instead of legacy USB drivers such as xhci, ehci-hcd, usb-uhci, usb, usb-storage.

I have also esxi 6.0 u3 where the same card is visible : Unfortunately it is not as easy as with ESXi 5.5, because in 6.0 VMware 'blacklisted' the drivers of ESXi 5.1, so you need to use net55-r8168 for Realtek 8168 chips and/or my 'replacement' packages net51-r8169 and net51-sky2 instead.

On March 12th 2015 VMware released ESXi 6.0 and I explained in another post how to get Realtek and Marvell NICs to work with it. Name PCI Device Driver Admin Status Link Status Speed Duplex MAC Address MTU Description maybe Apple uses a newer revision of the controller. It is recognize as vmnic0, but when I list NIC there it is not there: Download drivers for NVIDIA products including GeForce graphics cards, nForce motherboards, Quadro workstations, and more. After all, wouldn't it be in your best interest anyway since we only want to be able to run multiple OS, including two of yours legally at the same time per EULA?įusion does not fit my needs, otherwise this trashcan is literally - just a trash can.I have platform with I219-LM network controller:Ġ000:00:1f.6 Ethernet controller Network controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (3) I219-LM I'd probably start by testing that before I try to backrev to 6.5, but I'll need to find a different machine with a Thunderbolt 2 port. Reboot the ESXi host.The moment you see a black screen with progress bar saying LOADING HYPERVISOR, enter SHIFT + O instantly. Or any other module (specifically due to any driver) You can follow below steps if the host will not boot completely to use the solution: 1. Its possible it doesn't work for passthrough under EFI, I can't recall if I tried it under VMware Fusion. ESXi host might get into hung state after reboot at ipmisidrv 4. Note: If you do not see your version of ESXi/ESX listed, the card has not been certified. This provides a unified and common workflow.
#APPLE THUNDERBOLT DRIVER ESXI 6.5 UPDATE#
If you prefer to use Update Manager for the upgrade of ESXi and vSAN stack, you can now enable vSAN software upgrades through integration with vSphere Update Manager. For more information, see Installing async drivers on ESXi 5.x (2005205). The ESXi 6.5 Update 1 release includes the following list of new features. In ESXi 5.x, this can be done using Image Builder. Apple engineering, you guys really need to get both this and OpenCL passthrough drivers to VMware. The Apple Thunderbolt 2 Ethernet adapter is a dongle. Async drivers are drivers that have to be installed after installation or must be incorporated into the installation image. Almost seems that Apple has done it again with changing EFI which is newer than what is published as compatible. I even tried my old Thunderbolt 2 gigabit ethernet adapter and it doesn't work. When I get almost through the install, it then fails with a message that there are "No Network Adapters".ĭmesg or lspci indicate that there are indeed BCM577XX NIC's present. In order to do this, the exact version, including the build and update, running in an ESXi host, must first be found. I was not successful even though blogger and Apple enthusiast William Lam from VMware has done so on both MacMini and Mac Pro models (the Mac Pro being the only supported model officially by either organization). Before the driver can be downloaded from the VMware HCL, some necessary information must be gathered from the host, so that the correct driver can be identified.

Anyone successfully (and recently) were able to install VMware vSphere ESXi as per VMware HCL? One of the things I always enjoy doing at VMworld, when I am not running around and I have a few minutes to myself, is to check out the VMware Solutions Exchange.
