Adaptec 6405E - Installing on Solaris; Installing on Vmware

Chapter 8: Installing the Driver on an Existing Operating System ● 76
Installing on Solaris
To install the driver on Solaris:
1 Start your computer.
2 (Solaris 10 only) Check for any pre-existing Adaptec driver by performing a pkginfo
SUNWaac
in a terminal window . If there is no pre-existing Adaptec driver on your
computer, continue with Step 3. If an Adaptec driver is already installed on your
computer, perform a
pkgrm SUNWaac to remove it.
Caution:
If your operating system currently boots from the Adaptec controller, do not
reset your computer after you remove the pre-existing Adaptec driver. Instead, follow
the steps in this section to install a new driver before rebooting your computer.
3
Insert and mount the driver disk:
volcheck
4 Change to the driver installer directory:
On Solaris 10:
cd /rmdisk/aacraid/DU/sol_210/i86pc/Tools
On Solaris 11:
cd /rmdisk/aacraid/DU/sol_211/i86pc/Tools
5 Start the driver installer:
./install.sh -i
6 Remove the driver disk, then reboot your computer.
7 Continue with Managing Your Storage Space on page 79.
Installing on VMware
Note: You must remove the old driver before you can install the new one. You must have root
privilege to install the new driver.
Note: To copy the driver VIB file to the VMware ESX/ESXi server (in Step 2 below), you must
have access to a remote copy utility, such as WinSCP, putty, or Linux scp.
To install the driver on VMware:
1 At the VMware console screen, type these commands to remove the old driver:
VMware ESX/ESXi 4.1:
esxupdate query --vib-view | grep -i aacraid (list driver packages)
esxupdate -b <
vibID > --maintenancemode remove (remove package)
where vibID is the full name of the driver package.
Note:
For VMware 4.0 or earlier, use the rpm -e command to remove the driver.
VMware ESXi 5:
esxcli software vib list (list driver packages)
esxcli software vib remove --vibname=scsi-aacraid --maintenance-mode (remove
package)
