Hello,
I'm having a strange issue. I'm using an HP Microserver Gen8 with an HP NC550SFP Dual 10GB Card (made by Emulex). The card is correctly identified and shows alive. Because I'd rather not buy an $800 10GB switch for 4 servers, I'm directly connecting this NC550 to the identical card in my 2 ESX hosts; dual port card so each port goes direct to one of the 2 hosts. Only one of the ESX hosts is online right now to simplify testing. I've configured the network as follows:
FreeNAS oce0 = 10.0.12.9 /30 (255.255.255.252 = allows 2 usable IPs)
ESX = 10.0.12.10 /30
Again, I see link and alive on both sides, but I can not ping the other side from either machine. This exact same configuration works perfectly well on another storage server running Solaris.
Other stats:
FreeNAS version: FreeNAS 9.2.1.8-Release 64-bit
System = HP Microserver Gen8 w/ Xeon E3-1220v2 & 16GB RAM.
Any thoughts? Let me know if there is any other info or output needed.
Below is the ifconfig from FreeNAS (oce0 is the 10GB in question).
