Hi all,
I try to install esx on a server but i have problem with my nic. I see they have an iso with the driver for intel 82576 but i don't know how to install this driver on esxi (we have noconsole ...). So if anyone have an how to for me it would be great. I also see an oem to make a custom iso but i use a specific oem for the areca driver xD.
Thanks
Use the perl version. vihostupdate.pl
Download and burn the CD. The instructions for installing are on the CD as a Readme file in DOC.
Thanks, i know that but how i can mount the cd on esxi? On esx is simple it's the same command of linux but on esxi we have 0 control...
So i re-read the readme.txt and i begin to understand.
On my windows i mount the cd and with the vsphere cli i go on the good folder.
When i am on the good folder i make a command like that:
vihostupdate --server @ip -- username root --password passwd --install bundle INT-.zip that's right? Or i make a mistake in my commad?
You will need to use rcli to install the bundle. Download the VMA appliance or use the rcli from the link on your ESXi host web interface.
Thanks,
I will try that tomorrow and hope is work.
Do you know if a oem.tgz exist with all the compiled driver (areca, intel nic, realtek ...)
I doubt that there is an oem,tgz with those components but you can check at vm-help.com
The script by Varazir will help you create a custom install CD or USB boot drive - http://www.vm-help.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=4.

the vsphere cli say's vihostupdate is not a command...
And i have another problem when i try to put the vma on the datastore i have this error:
Failed to log into NFC, the same with vsphere host update. Idon't understand i have install 10 esxi maybe and i never seen this problem.
Use the perl version. vihostupdate.pl
The vihostupdate.pl is unknow too
No it's good now i have update my server succesfully.
Thanks all
Did you install the vSphere CLI?
Read through the Readme. Some of the CD's are bootable installers. Boot from the CD and they patch the current ESXi installation. Read carefully.
