Good day VM Gurus
I currently have an HP C7000 Blade Server with Proliant BL-460c Blades, each blade has the HP NC532i Dual Port 10gb Multifunction BL-cNIC, I am pretty sure I need to replce the drivers with the ones I downloaded from VM Ware, I just don't know how to do that, Is there any document on how to upload new nic drivers in the ESXi software?
On the VMware web site where you downloaded the drivers, look on the right. In "Related Resources" click "Documentation".
This link brings you a detailed description on how to update.

I found it, So what are those key strokes I use to get from an ESXi admin console to a command prompt in Linux. I forgot
Are you asking for Tech Support Mode for Emergency Support ?
André
when you download the driver iso you need to extract the .zip file.
Then if you using the vSphere vMA you need to SCP the file to the /tmp directory on the vMA.
On the vMA host change directory into /tmp
Type vifpinit (hostname)
vihostupdate --install --bundle filename.zip
I hope this helps.

Well, My Linux skils are non-existenant. I have my offline-bundle on a cd, i know I have to mount the cd and copy my offline-bundle to my /root/tmp. I am having an issue wioth getting my CD mounted, What commands will do this?
This was my issue also, in the end i put the cd in my windows pc and
copied the files off, then i used winscp to copy the files to the
/tmp directory. Hope that helps.
