● BITS119710: On systems running the VMware ESXi operating system, the TOE status of a network controller is not
available.
● On ESXi 5.5 and later operating systems, NIC cards using Native drivers display limited information on Server Administrator.
● JIT-164845: On systems running VMware ESXi 7.x operating system, the Server Administrator fails to connect from Server

2. Restart syslog by executing /etc/init.d/syslog restart.
