Vmware ESXI can’t detect network adapter on HP proliant DL380p G8 server

 

Today I was trying to install vmware esxi 5.1 on a new Hp proliant DL380p G8 server and was getting the following message

” No network adapters were detected. Either no network adapters are physically connected to the system, or a suitable driver could not be located. A third party driver may be required. ”

After searching in HP forums , I found that HP released a patch for this issue and this helped me to setup ESX server.

You can download the patched iso from here .

Hope that this will help you and save some time !! 🙂
