Dell r730 default LSI array card driver replacement method

2. Connect to the host through SSH (SSH startup supported by esxi, choose configuration> Security Policy> service> SSH> operation to start the SSH service)

   # Run commands

   Esxcfg-scsidevs-A // confirm that the driver module used by the RAID card of the current host is native DRIVER: lsi_mr3
   

   
   

   Note:: The system's built-in replacement driver version may not match the device. Therefore, before disabling native driver, you must first install a version matching replacement driver. Otherwise, the host may not be able to find the RAID card after restart and cannot be restored.

   
   

4. Copy the vib or offline bundle to the esxi server in '/tmp '.

   # SCP VMware-driver.1.1.0-1vmw.0.0.372183.vib [email protected]:/tmp

   Issue the following command (full path to the file must be specified ):

   # Esxcli software VIB install-V {vibfile}

   Or

   # Esxcli software VIB install-d {offline_bundle}

   In the example above, this wocould be:

   # Esxcli software VIB install-V/tmp/VMware-driver.1.1.0-1vmw.0.0.372183.vib

   Reboot esxi Server

   
   

6. After the host enters the maintenance mode and restarts, run the esxcli software vib list command to confirm that the newly installed driver has taken effect and the version is correct.

8. Run the command esxcli system module set -- enabled = false -- module = lsi_mr3

10. After the host is restarted, run the esxcfg-scsidevs-a command again to confirm that the raid card has used the replaced driver.

12. Run the command esxcli system module set -- enabled = true -- module = megaraid_sas and restart the host. Then, the system automatically reloads the native driver.
