VMware Driver Installation

Install OCZ Z Drive R4 driver on existing ESXi 5.0 host using esxcli 

   

An existing ESXi 5.0 host can install the OCZ Z-Drive R4 driver from a VIB file. The VIB file is copied to the 
ESXi 5.0 host using the datastore browser, and installed using esxcli in the ESXi Shell.
 

Note:

 This requires remote ESXi network connectivity using vSphere client.

To install the OCZ Z-Drive R4 driver:
 
  1.  Download and extract the latest drivers for Z-Drive R4 from 

  http://www.oczenterprise.com/drivers.html

  2.  Log in to the ESXi host using vSphere client with administrator privileges, such as root.
  3.  Using Datastore Browser, upload the scsi-ocz[version].VIB file to an ESXi host’s datastore.
  4.  Enter the host into maintenance mode.
  5.  Log in as root to the ESXi console through SSH.
  6.  Run this command to install driver from the VIB file (requires absolute path): 
   
   

esxcli software vib install -v <full path to VIB>

 

  For 

example:

 

 

esxcli software vib install –v /vmfs/volumes/datastore/scsi-ocz10xx-0.9.1-1OEM.500.0.0.472560.x86_64.vib

 

 
  7.  Reboot the ESXi host.
  8.  Exit maintenance mode.
