Follow these steps to install custom OS drivers.
- A new operating system must be installed before you can add OS drivers. You cannot add a driver to an existing installation.
- You can perform custom driver installations only when installing or upgrading an operating system on a Dell or Supermicro server.
- You must be aware of ESXi compatibility metrics between different release versions, and each version has a device driver version compatibility. For example, you can access the VMware Compatibility Guide in the following web link: VMWare compatibility guide.
- You must create a media object for each type of device driver. For example, if you want to install icen and ibbd drivers, create two different media objects.
- Update the type and the version correctly in the driver media file, and the values must match with the operating system driver and version specification.
