It is recommended that you install all applicable VxFlex OS drivers in preparation for
installing the VxFlex OS software.
Procedure
1. Download the VxFlex OS driver Zip file from
products/42216 to a Windows-based server.
2. Using a Windows OS-based system, unzip the file's contents to a temporary
location on Drive C, such as C:\temp.
The unzipped file displays a list of folders that correspond to the hardware
components that may be installed on your server.
3. Browse through the folders and locate the ESXi drivers that correspond to the
hardware components installed on the server.
4. Using an application such as winscp, copy the driver files to a temporary folder
on the VxFlex OS server.
5. Open a console connection and log in to the ESXi host.
6. Get the list of drivers currently installed on the server:
esxcli software vib list
7. Compare the version for each vib in the Zip file to the version installed on the
system, and make a note of the drivers that need to be updated.
8. If none of the drivers need to be updated, skip the rest of this procedure.
Otherwise:
For each driver being upgraded, run:
l
esxcli software vib install -d <driver_file>
For each driver being downgraded:
l
a. Remove the current driver from the server:
esxcli software vib remove -d <driver_file>
Note
If the output instructs you to reboot the server at this point, ignore it.
b. Install the correct driver version:
esxcli software vib install -d <driver_file>
9. After all the new drivers are installed, reboot the ESXi host:
esxcli system shutdown reboot -r 'replace driver'
