Cisco UCS C210 and VMWare ESXi 4.0U1

So, VMWare lists the UCS C210 in their supported device list, as well as the built in Intel 82576 NICs. Via a driver CD at least. Which seems to be its own quandary – the install craps out with an error about not having a supported network adapter before you get to the point where you can even load a network adapter. Catch-22. Currently trying to get ESXi 3.5U5 to load using the driver CD that supports the NIC and then we’ll see about upgrading afterwards.

    As an update, my telecom guy was able to get the system to run using the ESXi vSphere edition. Apparently I was just a little too quick to try it out or I didn’t look quite hard enough. All is well, though, at least to this point.
