Hi all,
i had a 5.2 installation working properly on a Proliant ML10 V2 server with Esxi 6.0 and two pci express HBA cards.
I wanted upgrade Esxi to 6.7 so i did the first step to upgrade to 6.5 but the vm started giving me errors about the passthrough cards.
I tried to upgrade to 6.7, same issue.
Then i downgraded back to 6.0, all working properly.
I tried a different approach, upgrading xpenology to 6.2 and on Esxi 6.0 was working.
So i tried the upgrade to Esxi 6.5, same issue.
Has anyone faced this issue before? I even tried to do the passthrough of one HBA card at a time but i have always had the error logged as below:
