ESXI升级或降级HBA驱动

问题现象:

光纤交换机配置正常,存储能认到ESXI主机的WWN号,存储映射也正常,但是ESXI无法认到存储,创建VMFS。ESXI上HBA显示也正常,能看到WWN号

问题判断:

可能和ESXI上HBA的驱动有关,检查vmware的兼容性列表,16GB的HBA设置成8GB后也不行。查看对应的ESXI版本和对应牌子的HBA的驱动兼容性

重新安装驱动

  1. 查看HBA设备
    通过SSH登录到esxi
    [root@ESXI03:/tmp] esxcfg-scsidevs -a
    vmhba0 lpfc link-up fc.20000090faa496b7:10000090faa496b7 (0000:95:00.0) Emulex Corporation Emulex LPe12000 8Gb PCIe Fibre Channel Adapter
    vmhba1 lpfc link-up fc.20000090faa496bc:10000090faa496bc (0000:11:00.0) Emulex Corporation Emulex LPe12000 8Gb PCIe Fibre Channel Adapter
    vmhba2 lsi_mr3 link-n/a sas.500605b00ac00080 (0000:07:00.0) Broadcom MegaRAID SAS Invader Controller
  2. 查看HBA驱动版本
    [root@ESXI03:/tmp] vmkload_mod -s lpfc |grep Version
    Version: 12.8.351.29-1OEM.670.0.0.8169922
  3. 重新安装驱动
    通过SCP或者TFTP工具上传下载好的驱动包到/tmp目录
    [root@ESXI03:/tmp] ls -l
    total 1224
    -rw-r–r-- 1 root root 1241976 Sep 14 06:25 VMW-ESX-6.7.0-lpfc-11.4.341.0-8102018.zip
  4. 解压驱动
    [root@ESXI03:/tmp] unzip VMW-ESX-6.7.0-lpfc-11.4.341.0-8102018.zip
    Archive: VMW-ESX-6.7.0-lpfc-11.4.341.0-8102018.zip

    -rw-r–r-- 1 root root 609210 Sep 14 06:27 VMW-ESX-6.7.0-lpfc-11.4.341.0-offline_bundle-8102018.zip
    drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 512 Sep 14 06:27 doc

  5. 安装驱动,用完整的路径
    [root@ESXI03:/tmp] esxcli software vib install -v /tmp/lpfc-11.4.341.0-1OEM.670.0.0.7535516.x86_64.vib
    Installation Result
