Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Reference Manual – Virtual SAN vmkload_mod module information input file: /usr/lib/vmware/vmkmod/hpsa License: GPL Version: Version 5.5.0.74-1OEM, Build: 1331820, Interface: 9.2 Built on: Aug 5 2014 This is the driver from the vSphere 5.5U2 HP ISO image (OEM – Original Equipment Manufacturer). This ISO image bundles an async driver for the HP Smart Array (async meaning that it is a driver not included with the official ESXi builds; those drivers are referred to as inbox drivers). A more elegant way of querying a driver version is via esxcli system module get –m. Here is an example taken from an ESXi 6.0 host, not from our walk-through. esxcli system module get -m esxcli system module get -m hpsa Module: hpsa Module File: /usr/lib/vmware/vmkmod/hpsa License: GPL Version: Version 6.0.0.44-4vmw, Build: 2391873, Interface: 9.2 Built on: Dec 27 2014 Build Type: release Provided Namespaces: Required Namespaces: com.vmware.driverAPI@9.2.3.0, com.vmware.vmkapi@v2_3_0_0 Containing VIB: scsi-hpsa VIB Acceptance Level: certified Next the FusionIO driver, also displayed in the pci list command previously, is checked. ~ # vmkload_mod -s iomemory-vsl vmkload_mod module information input file: /usr/lib/vmware/vmkmod/iomemory-vsl Version: Version 3.2.8.1350, Build: 1198610, Interface: 9.2 Built on: May 8 2014 License: proprietary Name-space: com.fusion-io.scsi-iomemory-vsl#9.2.2.0 Warning: At this point, it is once again imperative that you use a supported device driver. Failure to do so can result in degraded functionality or degraded performance or both. Check the VCG regularly for driver updates that contain patches and fixes. As shown, there are various ways of getting similar information from ESXi via the ESXCLI commands. The previous command reported driver version, but the following command provides another way of getting software versions, including those of the driver that have been installed on the ESXi host from third parties. As stated in the introduction to tools, there are many ways of doing the same thing with ESXCLI. This command is shown simply for illustrative purposes, so that there are other options available for gathering information: esxcli software vib list [root@cs-ie-h01:~] esxcli software vib list Name Version Vendor Acceptance Level Install Date --------------- ------------------------------- ------ ---------------- ------------ V M W A R E S T O R A G E B U D O C U M E N T A T I O N / 34

This does not imply that the driver is “Virtual SAN certified”. Warning: Care must be exercised if using a “custom ISO” or a “rollup ISO”. Customers may end up in a situation where the driver version found on the ISO is not yet on the VCG (in other words, customers have upgraded from a supported version to an unsupported version of the driver). Customers must pay special attention when faced with these upgrade situations. V M W A R E S T O R A G E B U D O C U M E N T A T I O N / 35
