I’m installing VMware ESX 3.5.0 on 12 DL380 G5’s. I’m using the two integrated Broadcom nics and I’ve installed two additional nics. Both additional nics are Intel Dual Port Pro 1000s. My issue came in that It was hard to tell which nic was which from within VMware. It was easy enough to tell that the onboard nics were 3:0:0 and 5:0:0, but for the Intels, it was more difficult. And I could see an even bigger problem if I needed to additional nics into this server later as the mappings would get all messed up.
