Installing on VMware
Note:
The embedded driver provided by VMware should be suitable for most applications. If an
updated driver is needed, use the following procedure.
To install the driver on VMware:
1
Start your computer, then insert the driver disk.
2
At the console screen of the VMware server, mount the Adaptec Installation CD:
mount –r /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom.
3
Install the module RPM:
rpm -i --force VMware-3.5-64607-esx-drivers-scsi-aacraid-1.1.5-2457.i586.rpm
4
Follow the on-screen instructions to save the boot image and run the vmware-mkinitrd
command manually.
5
Reboot your computer and remove the driver disk.
Note:
Currently, the Adaptec Storage Manager GUI is not supported on VMware. To create and
manage arrays, you must connect to the VMware machine from a remote GUI or use the
ARCCONF
utility. See
page 61
for more information.
