Installing on VMwareNote: You must remove the old driver before you can install the new one. You musthave root privilege to install the new driver.Note: To copy the driver VIB file to the VMware ESX/ESXi server (in Step 2 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:VMware ESX 4.1:esxupdate query --vib-view | grep -i aacraid (list driver packages)esxupdate -b <vibID> --maintenancemode remove (remove package)where vibID is the full name of the driver package.Note: For VMware 4.0 or earlier, use the rpm -e command to remove the driver.VMware ESXi 5.0:esxcli software vib list | grep -i aacraid (list driver packages)esxcli software vib remove --vibname=scsi-aacraid --maintenance-mode (removepackage)2. Using a remote copy utility, copy the driver VIB file for your operating system version from the Linuxdriver folder on the installation DVD to a local directory on the ESX server. This example uses Linuxscp to copy the driver to /tmp/aacraid (where xxxxx is the build number):VMware ESX 4.1:scp/mnt/cdrom/linux/driver/vmware-esx-drivers-scsi-aacraid-400.4.2.1.xxxxx-1.0.4.260247.x86_64.vibroot@:/tmp/aacraidVMware ESXi 5.0:scp/mnt/cdrom/linux/driver/vmware-esxi-drivers-scsi-aacraid-500.5.2.1.xxxxx.-1.0.5.472560.x86_64.vibroot@:/tmp/aacraidNote: Due to file name limits on the installation DVD, the “_64.vib” portion of thefile name may be truncated and not visible.3. Install the VIB module (where xxxxx is the build number):VMware ESX 4.1:esxupdate -b/tmp/aacraid/vmware-esx-drivers-scsi-aacraid-400.4.2.1.xxxxx-1.0.4.260247.x86_64.vib--nodeps --nosigcheck --maintenancemode updateVMware ESXi 5.0:esxcli software vib install -f -vfile:/tmp/aacraid/vmware-esxi-drivers-scsi-aacraid-500.5.2.1.xxxxx.-1.0.5.472560.x86_64.vib4.
