Resolution

When creating a profile from an HP Flex10 host, if the physical NIC link speed is not set to 10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 1000Mbps, the link speed in the profile is set to 0Mbps.

To apply the host profile with the desired physical NIC link speed, you must edit the profile manually.

To edit the profile manually:

Click the vCenter Server Home menu.

Click Host Profiles.

Right-click the profile to be edited and click Edit Host Profile.

Expand the profile object.

Expand Networking configuration > Physical NIC configuration.

Find and expand the physical NIC(s) that require a custom link speed.

Expand Physical network adapter.

Set the NIC configuration to Physical network adapter automatically negotiates the proper settings.

Click OK to save the configuration. The host profile should now apply and the NIC should negotiate the link speed properly.

If the issue persists:

Identify the speed reported for NICs on the ESX host by navigating to Configuration > Network Adapters.

Configure the host profile to match the speed noted in Step 1.

To configure the host profile:

Navigate to Physical NIC configuration > Physical NIC configuration > Physical Network adapter.

Select Fixed physical NIC configuration.

Select the name of the physical NIC to configure.

Set the Link speed in the Mbps field to match link speed noted in Step 1.
