To use the driver VIB:
1. Copy the driver VIB
(
scsi-
<offline-bundle>
-<driver-version>.0.0.<esx-build>.x
86_64.vib
) to this ESXi host.
2. Install the driver VIB using the following esxcli commands:
a. Type the following command to make a temporary directory:
mkdir /install; cd /install
b. Run the following command:
esxcli software vib install -v /install/<driver-vib>
Verifying the Version of the Installed Driver (ESXi 5.x Only)
Verify the installed package in the system using the following command:
esxcli software vib list | grep -i driver version
The driver version is embedded in the VIB version.
For example, the output looks like the following:
# esxcli software vib list | grep qla4xxx
