I am trying to follow an Intel document to replace the standard scsi-megaraid-sas driver in the ESXi 5.1 distribution so that I can manage a RAID array using the Intel RAID Web Console 2.
According to the Intel guide called "VMware ESXi 5.0 Installation and RWC2 Tips and Tricks", I need an ESXi "depot" file, or an image profile.
I need to insert the new (5.34-1vmw.500.0.0.406165) RAID controller driver software package (VIB file) into the ESXi installation image profile in order to replace the version 4.32.-1vmw.500.0.0.469512, and then export it to an ISO for installation.
My problem is I only seem to be able to download ESXi 5.1 ISO images. Instead, apparently I need an image profile or some sort of distribution in which I can replace the drivers.
Does anyone know where I can download an ESXi 5.1 distribution in which I can replace a driver?
