Aloha,
We have a BladeCenter H that was acquired thru a merger with another IT dept. It has four blades all running 5.1. I can't say for
sure but my guess is nothing has been upgraded since it was set up long ago.
I am to upgrade the guy to 5.5U3. VCenter went well. I upgraded the first blade and procedurally the upgrade succeeded. However
when I vmotion a vm to 5.5, I lose all network connectivity.
I talked to VMWare support and they advised me to upgrade the NIC driver. I did so and find my situation unchanged. I am wondering
if there is something on the hardware side that needs upgrading. Like I said, I would bet some cash that it is in the same state as
it was the day it was unpacked.
Please understand that I am not very familiar with this architecture - so please reply sloooowly. And yeah, I know it's really old.
Mahalo,
Bill
