3. Insert and mount the driver disk (assuming the USB drive is
/dev/sda1
):
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
4. Install the DEB driver package (where xxxxx is the build number):
Ubuntu 11:
sudo dpkg -i
/mnt/usb/aacraid-1.2.1-xxxxx-Ubuntu11.10+12.04+12.04.1+12.04.2-all.deb
Ubuntu 14:
sudo dpkg -i /mnt/usb/aacraid-1.2.1-xxxxx-Ubuntu14.10-x86_64.deb
Ubuntu 16:
sudo dpkg -i /mnt/usb/aacraid-1.2.1-xxxxx-Ubuntu16.10-x86_64.deb

Installing on VMware
Note: You must remove the old driver before you can install the new one. You must have
root privilege to install the new driver.
Note: To copy the driver VIB file to the VMware ESXi server (in
below), you must
have access to a remote copy utility, such as WinSCP, putty, or Linux scp.
To install the driver on VMware:
1. At the VMware console screen, type these commands to remove the old driver from a VMware system:
esxcli software vib list | grep -i aacraid (list driver packages)
esxcli software vib remove --vibname=scsi-aacraid --maintenance-mode (remove
package)
2. Using a remote copy utility, copy the driver VIB file for your operating system version to a local directory
on the ESXi server. This example uses Linux scp to copy the driver to /tmp/aacraid (where xxxxx is the
build number):
scp
/mnt/sda1/linux/driver/vmware-esxi-drivers-scsi-aacraid-600.6.2.1.xxxxx.-1.0.6.2159203.x86_64.vib
root@<esx-server-ip>:/tmp/aacraid
3. Install the VIB module (where xxxxx is the build number):
esxcli software vib install -f -v
file:/tmp/aacraid/vmware-esxi-drivers-scsi-aacraid-600.6.2.1.xxxxx.-1.0.6.2159203.x86_64.vib
4. Reboot your computer.
8.7
Installing on Citrix XenServer
Note: To copy the driver RPM file to XenServer (in
below), you must have access to
a remote copy utility, such as WinSCP, putty, or Linux scp. You must have root privilege
to install the driver.
