At the VMware console screen, type these commands to remove the old driver:
VMware ESX/ESXi 4.1:
esxupdate query --vib-view | grep -i aacraid
(list driver packages)
esxupdate -b <
vibID
>
--maintenancemode remove
(remove package)
where
vibID
is the full name of the driver package.
Note:
For VMware 4.0 or earlier, use the rpm -e command to remove the driver.
VMware ESXi 5:
esxcli software vib list
(list driver packages)
esxcli software vib remove --vibname=scsi-aacraid --maintenance-mode
(remove
package)
