Hi,
I installed ESXi 4.0.1 on an Fujitsu-Server with an INTEL 4 port Networkcard.
ESX cannot find the card until I update the Server with the ISO-packaga vmware-esx-drivers-net-igb_400.2.1.10.2-1.0.4.164009.268793.
Therefor I need VMa - I also installed Vma but the Problem is :
I only have one Host. To install over vihostupdate the package, the server must be in maintenance-mode. But when it is in maintenance-mode i have no chance to install?
Is it possible to install the card-drivers direct on the host's console?
Can somebody help me?
even when the server is in the maintenance mode, you should be able to install the same.
give it a try.
sorry, but when he host is in maintenance-mode there is no possibility to run the vihostupdate command.
I have do the following steps:
starting VMa
login as vi-admin
vifptarget -s <myhost>
start vihostupdate with the zip-file as parameter
Then it will show me the message "Host must be in maintenance-mode"
When I switch to the maintenance-mode there comes a message (in my case in German) that there is one VM-Machine startet and the maintenance-mode
is forced when this machine is down.
I think I do something wrong?
Can you tell me the steps i have to do?
