Thanks for the reply.

I have found the SRV-IO problem, it was not in the driver, not the global sr-iov, not win config.

It's the "bios" of the nic card that has to be set-up. F2+DEVICE SETTINGS (not in idrac or openmanage).

I haven't found documentation of that anywhere, and it's also not easy to configure with all the options it has.

Also it seems that with broadcom control panels are discontinued.

Regards.

Hi, does your server have the network hardware? If you have installed a software that doesn't have the hardware, it will not work. Let us know if you have any further questions. Happy New Year!

What's is happening when you launch the BACS program? Do you have an error message?

BACS is not installing, it does not appear anywhere. Maybe new verisons don't have BACS.

But no control suite?? how to check the nic status, transcievers, etc...

Thanks.

At this point I've no idea of what is going on.

I'll escalate your problem to an L3 for investigation.

Hi, is it possible for you to provide us your TSR logs to see what version of NIC you have. Please see the link below for the log extraction.

This don't help.

The problem is that BACS is not installing in neither of the two nic's.

Is there any way to have the latests bacs separate download?

Thanks.
