Chapter 8: Installing the Driver on an Existing Operating System ● 59
Installing on UnixWare
To install the driver on UnixWare:
1 Start your computer, then insert the driver disk.

Installing on VMware
Note: The embedded driver provided by VMware should be suitable for most applications. If an
updated driver is needed, use the following procedure.
To install the driver on VMware:
1 Start your computer, then insert the driver disk.
2 At the console screen of the VMware server, mount the Adaptec CD:
mount –r /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom.
3 Install the module RPM:
rpm –ivh /mnt/cdrom/xxx/yyy.rpm
where
xxx
is the driver path, and
yyy.rpm
is the rpm file.
4 Reboot your computer and remove the driver disk.
Note:
Currently, Adaptec Storage Manager is not supported on VMware. To create and manage
arrays, use the
ARC utility. See page 63 for more information.
