Building a new host for ESXi 6. Using Dell customized ISO and then updated with latest patch. Have the 2x10GB and 2x1GB broadcom (now qlogic) 57800 card. Firmware is latest 7.12.whatever and driver in vmware seems to be the latest too.
In my vmkernel.log, I see the following messages every 2 minutes
2015-06-24T17:08:47.788Z cpu0:33368)<6>host11: fip: host11: FIP VLAN ID unavail. Retry VLAN discovery.

I found this article:
http ://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2120523
but don't know how that applies.
One of the 10gig links is used and shows as offline in vCenter. The other is showing as unknown (it's not connected). I'm not using FCoE and another R620 with the sam card but older firmware and ESXi doesn't show any FCoE adapters.
Is this is a bug? Is there any way around the problem of this FCoE garbage filling up the log? Anyone see this before?
