Installing VIB file

For vSphere operating systems, before enabling the USB NIC, you must install the VIB file.

To install the VIB file:

  1. Using Win-SCP, copy the VIB file to /tmp/ folder of the ESX-i host operating system.
  2. Go to the ESXi prompt and run the following command:
    esxcli software vib install -v /tmp/ iDRAC_USB_NIC-1.0.0-799733X03.vib --no-sig-check
    The output is:
    Message: The update completed successfully, but the system needs to be rebooted for the changes to be effective.
                                           Reboot Required: true
                                           VIBs Installed: Dell_bootbank_iDRAC_USB_NIC_1.0.0-799733X03
                                           VIBs Removed:
                                           VIBs Skipped:
                                        
  3. Reboot the server.
  4. At the ESXi prompt, run the command: esxcfg-vmknic –l . The output displays the usb0 entry.
