Hi,<br />
<br />
Yes I'm using the correct version of OEM HP ESXi 5.5 downloaded from HP.<br />
<br />
I was on the phone with VMware Support and they looked at the network drivers an indicated that I should upgrade them because they were such an old version.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Okay, so which drivers did they suggest you use ?<br />
<br />
HPs version is June 2014, so are there newer drivers since June 2014 ?<br />
<br />
did they give you a link?<br />
<br />
Do you have issues with your network interfaces ?<br />
<br />
The procedure is still the same outlined above.

HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 - How to update the drivers with ESXi 5.5 Installed

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
