To install ESX software, refer the procedure detailed in the following section.

Using the Driver CD

The ESX driver CD allows you to install new or updated drivers on new or existing ESX software installations. You can use the driver CD in three ways:

• To install drivers as part of a new ESX software installation
• To update or add drivers by using vihostupdate
• To update or add drivers on existing ESX installations by using esxupdate

To install drivers for devices as part of a new ESX installation

Note: This procedure has changed since the ESX 3.5 driver-CD versions. You need the ESX installation DVD to begin driver installation.

1. Place the ESX installation DVD in the DVD drive of the host.
2. Accept the terms of the license agreement.
3. Select a keyboard type.
4. When prompted about custom drivers, select Yes to install custom drivers.
5. Click Add to eject the ESX installation DVD.
6. Place the driver CD in the DVD drive of the ESX host.
7. Select driver module to import drivers to the ESX host.
8. Click Next to continue.
   A dialog box displays the following message: Load the system drivers.
9. Click Yes.
   After loading the driver module, continue installing ESX. After the drivers are installed you are prompted to swap the driver CD with the ESX installation DVD.

To update or add drivers on existing ESX installations by using vihostupdate

1. Start the ESX host.
2. Place the driver CD in the CD-ROM drive of the host on which either the vSphere CLI package is installed or vMA is hosted.
3. Mount the driver CD.
4. Navigate to <cd mount point>/offline-bundle/ and locate the <offline-bundle>.zip file.
5. Run the vihostupdate command to install drivers using the offline bundle.
   vihostupdate <conn_options> --install --bundle <offline-bundle>.zip

For more details on vihostupdate, see the vSphere Command-Line Interface Installation and Reference Guide.

Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (AMCC), the recognized channel leader in serial RAID storage, announced that it will begin shipping the 3ware(R) 9690SA-4I Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) RAID controller on April 14. The 9690SA-4I will provide customers a value-oriented SAS/SATA configuration option with four internal ports.

'SAS is the interface for the direct-attach server space, SCSI's former mainstay,' said Scott Cleland, Worldwide Director of Marketing for AMCC Storage. 'The 3ware 9690SA-4I will give IT managers a new cost-sensitive SAS/SATA RAID solution for mission critical applications that require higher levels of availability and native expansion.'

The 3ware 9690SA controller line will continue to feature low profile controller layouts: one with eight internal ports, another with eight external ports, a third with four internal and four external ports and now a fourth with four internal ports. The 3ware 9690SA-4I will be tailored for value-end 1U, 4-bay servers, departmental servers and professional workstations that typically employ four, direct-connect internal drives. Expandability to 128 SAS/SATA devices with all 9690SA controllers is achieved with standard SAS expanders.
