This is the first time I am running an ESXI server, particularly version 6.5.0 (Build 4887370). Before that I have been using Virtual Box for hosting VMs for many years.
My ESXI Server is installed on my i7-2600K with Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3 motherboard.
I have two questions.
1) I am using the integrated graphic from my i7-2600K, the motherboard has 1 D-Sub, 1 DVI-D, 1 HDMI and 1 DisplayPort, when installing the ESXI server the HDMI out to my monitor doesn't work but the D-Sub does work. Is this a known driver issue with ESXI? I know the HDMI port on the motherboard does work because I was using it when I had Windows 10 installed on that same computer on the same day when I did the ESXI installation.
2) The NIC (Realtek RTL8111E) on my motherboard is not detected by the ESXI server. Luckily it was able to detect my 2nd NIC that is a PCI Intel PWLA8391GT so at least I can hook up the server to my network. My question is... is this also a known driver issue with ESXI where it doesn't have default driver for the Realtek RTL8111E NIC?
Thanks!

Edited just upgraded to the latest 6.7.0 (Build 8169922)
Scared the **** out of me after the upgrade. The upgrade process went smoothly but after rebooting my ESXI server, my two datastores disappear, not showing up.
Luckily after researching, it appears that it just didn't get mount. After mounting it using the esxcfg-volume command, both datastores reappear and I can start my VMs.
