All,
I am starting this topic to help resolve issues where customers who have FC5024D Brocade HBAs cannot see their Fiber channel cards as seen in this article from IBM.

Please refer to the log file for more details.
We resolved this error after calling VMware support who gave the correct filepath structure to apply the update. Also, please note that we unzipped the file and used the offline bundle zip file contained within the downloaded zip package -/tmp/BCD-bfa-3.2.3.0-00000-1328230 #
