Driver CD usage during ESX installation
(ESX only)
Note
8Gb Celerity support only.
During ESX 4.x installation, you may choose to install
additional drivers. This will allow you to install ESX
onto storage that is attached to your ATTO adapter.
You will need to write the appropriate ATTO driver ISO
image to CD media.
1
During ESX installation, select
Yes
to install
custom drivers and chose
Add
.
2
The installer will prompt you to insert the media
containing the ATTO device driver.
3
After you add the ATTO driver, the installer will
prompt you to reinsert the ESX installation
media and continue with the installation.
4
When the installer prompts you to choose the
location for the ESX install, you may choose
local storage or storage that is attached to your
ATTO adapter.
Driver CD as an Update CD (ESX or ESXi)
Adding an ATTO adapter and installing the driver after
you have installed ESX/ESXi 4
1
Mount the Driver CD ISO on your local
workstation.
This may require the use of a third-party ISO reader.
Microsoft Windows Vista and later include a built-in
ISO reader. On Linux, use the mount command and
the loopback interface. For example:
# mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom
# mount -r -l loop <path to driver ISO> /mnt/cdrom
2
Copy the offline bundle from the ISO image to a
local folder on your workstation. This ZIP file is
located in the offline-bundle folder of the ISO
image (ex. offline-bundle/celerity8fc.zip).
3
Use the Datastore Browser in the vSphere
Client to upload the ZIP file to your ESX/ESXi
host.
Note
Alternatively, you can utilize programs like
WinSCP (Windows) or SCP (Linux) to
upload the file directly to your ESX host.
4
Log in to the ESX/ESXi host on the Service
Console (ESX) or the Local Tech Support
Console (ESXi), or through an SSH client.
5
Install the offline bundle using the following
command on the ESX/ESXi host:
# esxupdate --maintenancemode --nosigcheck
update --bundle <path to driver bundle ZIP file>
6
Once the package is installed, reboot the
ESX/ESXi host.
