VMware ESXi 6.7u3 issues with QLogic BCM5780
We have some hosts (R730) running 6.7 build 15018017 with a Broadcom Corporation QLogic 57810 10 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter using driver qfle3 those work fine.
I wiped the machine and used the dellEMC_Customized-A11 iso build 6.7u3 build 177000523. For some reason ESXi will not see this card. Any help will be most welcome.
on the good host I typed "esxcli storage core adapter list" it sees the card under vmhba64-67 however if says "Broadcom Corp FCOE adapter"
On the new host we dont use FCoE. we just connect to iSCSi luns using software iscsi
I think I am confused between all the name changes.
No Events found!

I found this but where do I find the driver?

Hi, thanks for choosing Dell. BCM5780 and BCM57810 aren’t the same. Which are you using?
And “dellEMC_Customized-A11 iso build 6.7u3 build 177000523" -> This is the latest
BCM5780 ESXi 6.7u3 driver

Just guessing but you can try to disable/remove the FCoE with
Did you check if there is a configure option within LCC and the NIC Device?
I have 100 Server with the 57810 configured and cant remember to something like not detecting as a vmnic. The driver is build into VMware vanilla as in the Dell Custom ISO.
