[Tutorial: Install DSM 6.2 on ESXi 6.7]

@bearcatSorry i write it down wrong i meant can i change the driver settings in the virtual machine and then set the network adapter there to e1000e

 

Or in the virtual nic under network settings

[Tutorial: Install DSM 6.2 on ESXi 6.7]

@bearcat So if i change it in the vmware settings to e1000e its not enough ?

 

and yes that are the pyhiscal adapters any idea how to change One nic to e1000e ?

[Tutorial: Install DSM 6.2 on ESXi 6.7]

Thanks for the matrix im going to change the Virtual switch to e1000e

Make a update later on

 

@bearcat I need to change the driver of the pyshical NIC right ? atm they are all E1000

@luchumaYes i get to see this screen

 

set sn=1130LWN029982

set mac1=0011322CA785

 

This are my current value's

 

When looking in my Vswitch topology pfsense has there a mac adres xpe dont (server 2016 is turned off)

 

Virtual Machines (3)

pfSense

MAC Address 00:0c:29:8e:d4:2c

server2016

XPE

[Tutorial: Install DSM 6.2 on ESXi 6.7]

@luchuma I also tried when i left all menu open and just choose the esxi option

Also with the default or a random mac adress it dont work.

 

Anyone have ideas what could be wrong ?

 

if i choose the default mac adress can it be that the serial number need to be changed ?

 

 

[Tutorial: Install DSM 6.2 on ESXi 6.7]

@bearcatIn the virtual machine settings or the whole virtual switch ?
