I'd suggest to just get the drivers from VMware (www.vmware.com/download -> VMware vSphere -> Drivers & Tools tab -> Driver CDs). The zipfile that is the download (driver package) comes with a readme that provides information on how to install them (during or after the ESXi install).
Hi  Newbie to esxi 5.1  and to dell.  I have installed 5.1 (downloaded the image from VMWare) I have installed and it seems to be okay .  as in my local 1G nics are working. But I can't see my 4 x 10G ports nor I presume do I have any nice Dell VMWare integration.  I believe I installed on the local Flash device.  So I went to the support.dell site, found my server a R620, selected VMware 5.1 and then select the OS related drivers download.  which Drivers-for-OS-Deployment_Application_4N44V_LN_7.2.0.7_A00.BIN THere was a windows one and a sign linux one.  Downloaded read the documention that talks about redhat yadda yadda...  Nothing there specific for VMWare .  I chmod it and try to run it .... guess what it fails...  I would prefere not to have to re install, even though I haven't doen that much config on it. I would prefer to understand why its not working.  I do use the update manager on my other boxs (they are HP)  So what am i missing !  Thanks Alex
R620 + Esx 5.1i
