What drivers does ESXi use?

[Kimbie]

With HP Blades, how do I find out the driver version that ESXI is using for the network cards, iSCSI cards?

I need this to check if there is an update that might fix the problem I am having with losing connection to our data volumes

Thanks

Kimbie

Thanks for that, but how do I type those commands into the ESXi server?

Not overly proficient with CLI

So if you could give me a step by step of what to do would be appreciated

Thanks

Just go to ESXi console, login and type the command without "$" sign.

ESXi 4.0

ESXi 4.1
