Hi everybody,
The LSI website gives 2 links for the driver of the 9260-4i controller:
"The certified driver package 6.606.06.00.1 is downloadable from the vmware web site for
ESXi 5.5 Legacy driver
ESXi 5.5 Native driver Invader only
https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=DT-ESXI55-LSI-MR3-66061000-1OEM&productId=353
What is best between the legacy driver or the native one ?
thanks for your help.
The other one is version 6.606.10.00, released a few days later. I'd prefer to use the latest one...
is there a difference between legacy and native driver, I mean, is there one better than the other, (since excepted the version number, one is called scsi-megaraid-sas and the other lsi-mr3) ?
In my configuration:
/vmfs/volumes # esxcli software vib list | grep -i sas
scsi-megaraid-sas 6.606.06.00-1OEM.550.0.0.1331820 LSI VMwareCertified 2015-02-13
scsi-mpt2sas 14.00.00.00-3vmw.550.1.15.1623387 VMware VMwareCertified 2015-02-13
scsi-mptsas 4.23.01.00-9vmw.550.0.0.1331820 VMware VMwareCertified 2015-02-13
/vmfs/volumes # esxcli software vib list | grep -i mr3
lsi-mr3 6.606.10.00-1OEM.550.0.0.1391871 LSI VMwareCertified 2015-02-16
/vmfs/volumes # esxcfg-scsidevs -a | grep -i lsi
vmhba1 megaraid_sas link-n/a unknown.vmhba1 (0:1:0.0) LSI / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS GEN2 Controller
that this means I'm using the legacy version ? and if so, how can I force the use of the newer ? by removing the legacy driver ?
