updated driver is needed, use the following procedure.

To install the driver on VMware:

1 Start your computer, then insert the driver disk.

2 At the console screen of the VMware server, mount the Adaptec CD:

mount –r /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom.

3 Install the module RPM:

rpm –ivh /mnt/cdrom/xxx/yyy.rpm

where

xxx

is the driver path, and

yyy.rpm

is the rpm file.

4 Reboot your computer and remove the driver disk.

Note:

Currently, Adaptec Storage Manager is not supported on VMware. To create and manage

arrays, use the

ARC utility. See page 63 for more information.
