版本和发布日期稍有差异,更多信息里面可以看到包含的内容,第二个包比第一个多了一些intel设备的驱动,7.0U3 和U3I属于不通的patch版本,不确定是否可以直接装,建议选1或者2。
Step 1Extract the contents of the ISO image to the ESXi host.
Step 2 Identify the offline-bundle.zip file containing the eNIC or fNIC driver being installed. //前两步是准备好需要安装的文件
Step 3Log into the ESXi host using the vSphere Client with administrator privileges, such as root. //使用管理员权限账户登录esxi
Step 4 Using DataStore Browser, upload the offline-bundle.zip file to the ESXi host's datastore. //使用datastore浏览器,将文件上传到esxi的主机存储中
Step 5 Enter the host into maintenance mode. //设置主机进入维护模式
Step 6 Log into the ESXi console as root through SSH or iLO/DRAC. 使用ssh或者其他方式登录ESXi console,ssh需要在服务里面开启(管理-服务-启用TSM-SSH,用完关闭即可)
Step 7 Copy the offline-bundle.zip file to a datastore accessible by the ESXi host by running this command: //使用下面命令拷贝文件到esxi主机可以访问的数据存储(这个可以跳过)
cp offline-bundle.zip /vmfs/volumes/datastore_name
Step 8 Run the following command to install drivers using the offline bundle. An absolute path is required to run this command.//使用下面命令安装驱动,path需要是文件的绝对路径,
esxcli software vib install –d /path/offline-bundle.zip
For example:esxcli software vib install -d /vmfs/volumes/datastore_name/offline_bundle.zip

[root@localhost:~] cd /vmfs/volumes/ 这个地方可以直接使用存储卷名称,也可用uuid,找到文件之后,pwd查看绝对路径

[root@localhost:/vmfs/volumes/5b21c3f6-4ea6983a-2814-ecexxxxxxf384/iso] pwd
/vmfs/volumes/5b21c3f6-4ea6983a-2814-ecexxxxxxf384/iso

Step 9 You can run the following command to check that the VMware vSphere Installation Bundle(VIB) is installed successfully: //使用下面命令检查vib安装是否成功 vib_name需要自己制定,不知道包名就不用grep,先查一遍,装完在看一遍,对比一下就知道装了哪些包
esxcli software vib list | grep -i vib_name
Step 10 Restart the host. 重启主机
Step 11 Exit maintenance mode. 退出维护模式
