Trying to help another user out with this post.
On an HP DL380 G3, a user tried to add a new VM and now the Physical NIC's can't be managed via the HP utility. The error indicates that network property pages are locked.
Also, within the "Virtual Network Editor - can't deselect "Automatically choose an available physical adapter" on the Automatic Bridging page. The check box is grey'd out.
Finally, on the "Host Virtual Network Mapping" page of the Virtual Network Editor - no physical NIC's can be chosen.
Now, when he tries to start the previously working VM's he gets an error indicating that the networking can't connect to physical nics.
Any Ideas?
