So I suppose you guys using IP Storage (ISCSI ?) - because we only use the onboard NICs (Emulex indeed) for network traffic. Our storage - which seems to be the issue here - is using QLogic HBAs. We never actually had problems where the nics refused to send traffic. I now forwarded VMware my findings yet again and asked for an explanation and how we can avoid this in the future .. Still waiting for a reply so it will be interesting to see what the outcome is / will be.
