The guest is also productive and uses ixlv(4) (stable/11), but I have maintenance windows... Not much 10GE peers – only one other ESXi host via SFP-DA-cable. So not the most convenient environment, but I'll be at it this upcoming weekend... If there's anything I can do with that setup, just email me. -harry
