I’m trying to update the driver for bnx2 in ESX 4.0
I download the iso image from
http://downloads.vmware.com/d/details/esx_esxi_40_broadcom_bnx2_dt/ZHcqYmRqZHRidGR3
I put the ESX host into maintenance mode
Mount the cd
Mount /dev/cdrom /tmp
I navigate to cd /tmp/offline-bundle
Run update
esxupdate --bundle=BCM-bnx2-2.0.7c-1.0.4.00000-offline_bundle-229199.zip update
I get the following error message

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong this is the first time I tried to update a driver in ESX
Thanks
