Installing the Driver on a VMware System
This section describes how to install the P420m/P320h driver on a VMware ESX 5.0/5.1
system and the VMware inbox driver on an ESX 5.5 system.
VMware ESX 5.0/5.1
1. Copy the installer .zip file from the VMware folder in the support pack software to
your system.
2. Run the following command:
# esxcli software vib install -d=/<full_path_to_offline_zip>
Where <full_path_to_offline_zip> is the path to the VMware installer file. The
complete directory path must be specified even if the zip file is in the currently
running directory; otherwise, an error will be reported. The command output will
look similar to the following:
~ # esxcli software vib install -d=/mtip32xx-1.0.3.zip
Installation Result Message: The update completed successfully, but the system
needs to be rebooted for the changes to be effective.
Reboot Required: true

VMware Inbox Driver in ESX 5.5
With VMware 5.5, the Micron driver is available as an inbox driver included with the
ESX kernel install image. The inbox driver automatically installs when updating to ker-
nel 5.5.
If you have installed the Micron driver on a system running a VMware version prior to
ESX 5.5, you must uninstall the driver before you can use the inbox driver. Additionally,
review the VMware driver information in the Troubleshooting section for important in-
formation regarding the migration of datastores previously created in ESX 5.0 and 5.1 to
ESX 5.5.
Uninstalling the Driver
Run the following command to remove an existing driver:
# esxcli software vib list | grep mtip
The command output will look similar to the following:
