MEM install fail

Hi

I want to upgrade the MEM on my ESXi hosts, So I followed the tech doc "configuring and installing the equallogic multipathing extension module". On my vMA, I've overwitten the setup.pl and dell-eql-mem... files with the new ones, using WinSCP.

Now when I try to run setup.pl --install --server=10.40.64.27, I'm getting a "command not found" error

See screenshot:

I'm not a Linux guru. but this error is really surprising as the procedure is quite straightforward.

Thanks in advance for the help

Martin

    Thanks Don for the fast response.

    I'm not quite sure of what I have to accomplish with the link you provided.

    As per the document Configuring and Installing the EqualLogic Multipathing Extension Module for VMware vSphere and PS Series SANs:

    1. The ESXi host(s) must be placed in maintenance mode.

    2. Download and install either the VMware vMA, or vSphere CLI. Refer to

    VMware’s documentation for installation and configuration details of these

    tools.

    3. Download the Dell EqualLogic Multipathing Extension Module for VMware

    vSphere (MEM) from the EqualLogic Support website. There are currently

    two version of MEM; MEM 1.2 which supports versions 5.0, 5.1 and 5.5 of

    ESXi, and MEM 1.1.2 which supports versions 4.1, 5.0 and 5.1 of ESXi.

    Customers are encouraged to use the most current applicable version for

    the version of ESXi they are using. The download will be a zip archive

    named EqualLogic-ESX-Multipathing-Module.zip

    4. Unpack the ZIP archive. It will contain the files:

    • dell-eql-mem-esx - .zip

    Note: This is a VIB offline bundle and should not be unzipped.

    • MEM-Release_Notes.pdf

    • MEM-User_Guide.pdf

    • README.txt

    • setup.pl

    5. If using the vMA, upload setup.pl and the VIB offline bundle to the vMA.

    6. Retain the MEM-Release_Notes.pdf, MEM-User_Guide.pdf, and README.txt

    files for reference.

    Then, to configure an ISCSI vSwitch, I have to

    1. Connect to the vMA and change directory to where the setup.pl was

    uploaded to.

    2. The simplest method of creating a multipathing iSCSI vSwitch is to invoke

    the setup.pl in Interactive Mode.

    setup.pl --configure --server=hostname

    pretty simple. There is no place where it states I have to transform a dos file in unix file
