Hello All,
I want to install a new driver for the "Emulex Corporation NC551i Dual Port FlexFabric 10Gb Adapter" on ESXi hosts. Currently the NIC has the driver that was shipped with the HP Customized CD. I have downloaded the new updated driver from HP site. It is a ZIP file (be2net-4.2.327.0-837998.zip).
I uploaded this to the shared datastore and unzipped it. After unzipping it, I got 2 files:
be2net-4.2.327.0-offline_bundle-837998.zip
net-be2net-4.2.327.0-1OEM.500.0.0.472560.x86_64.vib
I used SSH on the esxi hosts and "esxcli software install vib -d /vmfs/volumes/<path>/be2net-4.2.327.0-offline_bundle-837998.zip"
Was I supposed to use .VIB as well?
Should I have NOT unzipped the files and installed the zip file using above command?
Thanks,
AG
