  • 1.  Marvell Yukon 88E8001 driver .vib

    Dear Community,

    As a beginner to VMware, I'm trying to install it on one of our computer but I'm facing the issue "No network adapter".

    This is due to the integrated Marvell Yukon 88E8001/8003/8010 network adapter.

    I've been trying to add drivers using ESXi Customizer v2.7.2 but it appears the drivers I found (following another similar discussion on this forum) were not the right ones...

    Is there any way to find a .vib file easily and add it to my ISO ?

    Thanks and regards,

    Chris

    To clarify my question, here are the updates.

    Since I understood that some package were already available in the depot, I used PCLI to run the following commands:

    Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
    Add-PSSnapin VMware.ImageBuilder
    Add-EsxSoftwareDepot https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml
    New-EsxImageProfile -CloneProfile "ESXi-5.5.0-1331820-standard" -name "ESXi-5.5.0-1331820-Whitebox" -vendor "withNICs"
    Add-EsxSoftwarePackage -ImageProfile "ESXi-5.5.0-1331820-Whitebox" -SoftwarePackage "net-sky2"
    Add-EsxSoftwarePackage -ImageProfile "ESXi-5.5.0-1331820-Whitebox" -SoftwarePackage "net-s2io"
    Export-ESXImageProfile -ImageProfile "ESXi-5.5.0-1331820-Whitebox" -ExportToISO -filepath C:\ESXi-5.5.0-1331820-Whitebox.iso


    However, it seems I am still missing the package for my particular network card.


    Do you know which argument I should add after -SoftwarePackage in the following line and before exporting it?

    Add-EsxSoftwarePackage -ImageProfile "ESXi-5.5.0-1331820-Whitebox" -SoftwarePackage "xxxxxx"


    Many thanks and regards,

    Chris
