In my last video, I showed you how to update ESXi NIC drivers from the command line. This method is great for one-off updates, or for small environments, but it really isn’t scalable. Thankfully, VMware Update Manager can make quick work out of driver updates. By taking advantage of fully-automated DRS, VUM can make the entire process seamless and orchestrate everything from host evacuation, driver installation and even the host reboots.
In today’s video, I walk you through how to upload a custom patch into VUM and create a baseline that can be used to update a driver.
Remember, some server vendors require specific or minimum firmware levels to go along with their drivers. The firmware version listed in the compatibility guide is only the version used to test/qualify the driver. It’s not necessarily the best or only choice. VMware always recommends reaching out to your hardware vendor for the final word on driver/firmware interoperability.
