目前在安裝Intel SR2520 SAS HD 要安裝VMware有找不到HD的問題，所以找了一下ESX Install Driver的方式。備註一下方式。
Driver Link：搜尋需要的Driver並燒成CD or DVD

Using the Driver CD
1. 使用安裝光碟安裝驅動程式：
The ESX/ESXi driver CD allows you to install new or updated drivers on new or existing ESX or ESXi software installations. You can use the driver CD in three ways:
To install drivers as part of a new ESX software installation (ESX only)
To update or add drivers using vihostupdate on either an ESX or ESXi host
To update or add drivers on existing ESX installations using esxupdate command(ESX only)
To install drivers for devices as part of a new ESX Installation (for ESX only)
Note: This procedure has changed since the ESX 3.5 version of driver CD. You need the ESX installation DVD to begin driver installation.
1. Place the ESX installation DVD in the DVD drive of the host.
2. Accept the terms of the license agreement.
3. Select a keyboard type.
4. When prompted for Custom Drivers, select Yes to install custom drivers.
5. Click Add to eject the ESX installation DVD.
6. Place the driver CD in the DVD drive of the ESX host.
7. Select driver module to import drivers to the ESX host.
8. Click Next to continue.
A dialog box displays the following message: Load the system drivers.
9. Click Yes. After loading the driver module, continue installing ESX.
After the drivers are installed you are prompted to swap the driver CD with the ESX installation DVD.
2. 更新或加入新的驅動程式在現有的 ESX and ESXi 使用 vSphere Command-Line Interface 進行更新
To update or add drivers on existing ESX and ESXi installations using vihostupdate
(for both ESX and ESXi)
1. Power on the ESX or ESXi host.
2. Place the driver CD in the CD-ROM drive of the host where either the vSphere CLI package is installed or vMA is hosted.
3. Mount the driver CD.
4. Navigate to <cd mount point>/offline-bundle/ and locate the INT-intel-lad-ddk-igb-1.3.19.12-offline_bundle-166506.zip file.
5. Run the vihostupdate command to install drivers using the offline bundle.
vihostupdate <conn_options> --install --bundle INT-intel-lad-ddk-igb-1.3.19.12-offline_bundle-166506.zip
For more details on vihostupdate, see the vSphere Command-Line Interface Installation and Reference Guide.
3. 更新或加入新的驅動程式在現有的 ESX 使用 esxupdate 進行更新
To update or add drivers on existing ESX installations using esxupdate (for ESX only)
1. Power on the ESX host and log in as administrator.
2. Place the driver CD in the CD-ROM drive of the ESX host.
3. Mount the driver CD.
4. Navigate to <cd mount point>/offline-bundle/ and locate the INT-intel-lad-ddk-igb-1.3.19.12-offline_bundle-166506.zip file.
5. Run the esxupdate command to install drivers using the offline bundle.
esxupdate --bundle=INT-intel-lad-ddk-igb-1.3.19.12-offline_bundle-166506.zip update
