DELL R720 ESXI6.0下升级RAID卡微码？

http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_5f5a3dff0101cwya.html
FYI

写次教程的原因是蛋疼的ESXI不像WIN那么方便直接安装 MegaRAID Storage Management 管理软件直接管理，只能通过linux或者windows系统管理ESXi上面的阵列卡。

LSI相关驱动下载地址：http://www.lsi.com/support/Pages/download-search.aspx （搜索型号）
下载好软件上传到ESXi母鸡上：
~ # cd /tmp/
/tmp # ls
scsi-megaraid-sas-6.506.51.00.1vmw-1vmw.500.0.0.472560.x86_64.vib
vmware-esx-provider-lsiprovider.vib

~ # cd /tmp/
chmod 777 scsi-megaraid-sas-6.506.51.00.1vmw-1vmw.500.0.0.472560.x86_64.vib
chmod 777 vmware-esx-provider-lsiprovider.vib

按照网络上教程安装提示如下错误：
1、开始安装ESXI最新控制器驱动 VMware ESXi 5.0 Driver for LSI MegaRAID SAS Controller
/tmp # esxcli software vib install -v scsi-megaraid-sas-6.506.51.00.1vmw-1vmw.500.0.0.472560.x86_64.vib -f --maintenance-mode
[VibDownloadError]
('scsi-megaraid-sas-6.506.51.00.1vmw-1vmw.500.0.0.472560.x86_64.vib', '', "[Errno 4] IOError: ")

    url = scsi-megaraid-sas-6.506.51.00.1vmw-1vmw.500.0.0.472560.x86_64.vib

Please refer to the log file for more details.

按提示把两个文件复制到 /var/log/vmware/
/tmp # cp scsi-megaraid-sas-6.506.51.00.1vmw-1vmw.500.0.0.472560.x86_64.vib vmware-esx-provider-lsiprovider.vib /var/log/vmware

然后进入 /var/log/vmware/ 目录
/var/log/vmware # ls
scsi-megaraid-sas-6.506.51.00.1vmw-1vmw.500.0.0.472560.x86_64.vib
vmware-esx-provider-lsiprovider.vib

最后执行升级，成功了，很神奇！！！！难道文件一定要放在/var/log/vmware/目录下才可以？但是网络上所有教程都没提到这点。。~~
/var/log/vmware # esxcli software vib install -v scsi-megaraid-sas-6.506.51.00.1vmw-1vmw.500.0.0.472560.x86_64.vib -f --maintenance-mode
Installation Result
Message: The update completed successfully, but the system needs to be rebooted for the changes to be effective.
Reboot Required: true 提示需要重启
VIBs Installed: VMware_bootbank_scsi-megaraid-sas_6.506.51.00.1vmw-1vmw.500.0.0.472560 提示安装版本6.506
VIBs Removed: VMware_bootbank_scsi-megaraid-sas_5.34-4vmw.510.0.0.799733 提示删除旧版本5.34
VIBs Skipped:

再次执行确认已经安装成功
/var/log/vmware # esxcli software vib install -v scsi-megaraid-sas-6.506.51.00.1vmw-1vmw.500.0.0.472560.x86_64.vib -f --maintenance-mode
Installation Result
Message: Host is not changed. 说明版本一致不需要升级
Reboot Required: false
VIBs Installed:
VIBs Removed:
VIBs Skipped: VMware_bootbank_scsi-megaraid-sas_6.506.51.00.1vmw-1vmw.500.0.0.472560
/var/log/vmware #
如上提示说明已经安装成功。

2、安装CIM（MegaRAID SAS VMWare SMIS）
/var/log/vmware # esxcli software vib install -v vmware-esx-provider-lsiprovider.vib -f --maintenance-mode
Installation Result
Message: The update completed successfully, but the system needs to be rebooted for the changes to be effective.
Reboot Required: true
VIBs Installed: LSI_bootbank_lsiprovider_500.04.V0.34-0012
VIBs Removed:
VIBs Skipped:
/var/log/vmware #

最后在windows上面安装 MegaRAID Storage Management 管理软件，接下去的用法不用多说了跟windows一样：）
