Hello,
I have several DL380G7s which are used in a VMware test lab.
One of my DL380s NICs, has extremely slow Network speeds and seems to mimmic all the problems I found from an older post from here:
https://community.hpe.com/t5/ProLiant-Servers-ML-DL-SL/VERY-slow-network-after-many-HW-updates-on-DL370-G6/td-p/5996111#.XIZbCbh7mUl
The Problem:
Network traffic speeds are slow, around 200kbs. The traffic seems to jumpto Kbs and than drops to zero and repeats this ever few seconds.
The problem is constant whether I use the onboard NICs or an enternal card like the HP HSTNS-BN50 Quad Port Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Adapter Card or the HP NC375T.
I've done obvious steps, I've wipped the OS from ESXi and installed Win2016, I've tried updating drives for the NICs with drivers I could find from HPs site and the problem is the same.
A work around from the post of the URL above was too:
This issue can be worked around by disabling LRO functionality by setting either of the following settings in the NIC properties under the Advanced tab:
Large Receive Offload: Disabled
TCP Checksum Offload (IPv4): Tx Only or
Down grade the NIC drivers to 4.6.17.502 or to 7.4.14.0 - which I can't find on HPs website
OR
Download this driver: HP QLogic P3P Multifunction Driver for Windows Server 2008 x64 Editions
Version: 4.7.28.523 (B) (Optional).
Anyone have any suggesstions? This is the only server out of the batch of servers I have that is doing this.
Thanks.
