Hi,
i have a IBM x3650 server installed with ESXi 4.1 & configured 3 VM (installed with VMware tool) . i have downloaded vmware-esx-drivers-net-bnx2_400.2.0.7c-1.0.4.00000.229199.iso (do i need to update NIC driver on all 3 VM? as NIC now using VMware Accelerated AMD PCNet Adapter).
i have vmware vsphere cli install on my notebook, wouldn't know below steps are correct on updating nic driver for ESXi;
1) extract BCM-bnx2-2.0.7c-1.0.4.00000-offline_bundle-229199.zip from ISO file to C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin> where vihostupdate.pl reside
2) open vmware vsphere cli command prompt, cd to bin
3) at :\Program Files\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin>, type vihostupdate.pl --install --bundle BCM-bnx2-2.0.7c-1.0.4.00000-offline_bundle-229199.zip
OR
1) scp vmware-esx-drivers-net-bnx2-400.2.0.7c-1.0.4.00000.x86_64.rpm from the ISO file to ESXi
2) ssh to ESXi
3) rpm install vmware-esx-drivers-net-bnx2-400.2.0.7c-1.0.4.00000.x86_64.rpm
Thanks & Regards,
Kelvin
