Hoping the OP or others familiar with the HP DL380 G7 server can assist...
im in the exact same situation where I want to add additional PCI-e NICs to my G7 server. reading through this thread, although it sounds quite straight forward, I wont be onsite for the upgrade, and relying on less technically adept 'hands' to do the physical work. given that some change is required in ESX to update the driver for the HP NC365T NICs (I was also planning to use these), I would prefer then using a NIC which would be automatically detected after install (ie no need for driver update in ESX)
can someone suggest a HP branded NIC which is suitable for ESX 4.0 (no update). i presume the NIC would have to have the same chipset as those oboard on the G7???
