Hi, this seems to be a very complex issue please get in touch with our Software Support because if VMware rejected assistance I could not help you with this. Regards Martin
Hello, on the end of April 2022, I checked the VMware Compatibility Matrix ([URL] for the HBA model LPe1205-M installed on Dell PowerEdge M630 VRTX server against ESXi 7.0U2 software version. On that time the HBA was supported for both FW and Driver on ESXi version 7.0U3/U2. I checked last week, end of June 2022 and the LPe1205-M has been removed and is not longer certified for ESXi 7.0 but certified only for the latest ESXi 6.7U3 version. Unfortunately in the mean time (from April to June 2022) I've already upgraded to ESXi 7.0U2 same servers M630 VRTX with LPe1205-M. I cannot find on the web the reason why it was removed and not even if will be re-certified. Someone maybe knows about this issue?  Here detail regarding HBA LPE1205-M: Model : Emulex LightPulse LPe1205-M 2-Port 8G Fibre Channel Adapter Device Type : FC Brand Name : Dell inc. Number of Ports : 2 VID : 10df DID : f100 SVID :10df SSID : f126 Many thanks in advance. Giovanni
