Steps to install NIC drivers on
XenServers
Check NIC driver version by running ethtool -i eth0
I created a directory in the tmp
directory called iso. It does not have to be called iso this is just what I
chose. I performed this using WinSCP
[root@fsxensvr14 ~]# cd /tmp/iso
Copy the NIC drivers to this new
directory and then perform an ls to view the files in the directory
[root@fsxensvr14 iso]# ls
bnx2x-1.74.22.tar.gz
bnx2x.iso bnx2x.iso.md5 bnx2x.metadata.md5
Mount the iso using the following
command. You are mounting the iso to the /tmp/iso directory that you created
earlier
[root@fsxensvr14 iso]# mount bnx2x.iso /tmp/iso -o loop,ro
Change directories to the /tmp/iso
directory
[root@fsxensvr14 iso]# cd /tmp/iso
Perform an ls to view the files in the
directory
[root@fsxensvr14 iso]# ls
bnx2x-modules-kdump-2.6.32.43-0.4.1.xs1.6.10.784.170772-1.74.22-1.i386.rpm
bnx2x-modules-xen-2.6.32.43-0.4.1.xs1.6.10.784.170772-1.74.22-1.i386.rpm
install
install.sh

XS-REPOSITORY
Execute install.sh by running the
following command
[root@fsxensvr14 iso]# ./install.sh

running the following command
