Error updating NIC adapter in ESXi 8 (/bin/bash not found)

Hello!

This is my environment:

LENOVO LHX5521 (ThinkAgile) - Type 7Y90 - (6 Nodes)
AOS 6.10
ESXi-8.0.1C-22088125

Each server comes with a X722 LOM card (4 NIC ports), One or two NIC ports go down if the Lenovo server is restarted. The workaround is to power off and then power on the server.

I've seen on Lenovo support sites that updating the LOM card driver to the latest available version is the recommended approach to fix this error. I've downloaded the binary (.BIN) file to the ESXi 8 server (BEST RECIPE 5.5) and extracted it into a temporary folder, but when I try to run the update script, I get an error.


[root@NODE1/temp] ./install-nvm-linux-x64-updated.sh
-sh: ./install-nvm-linux-x64-updated.sh: not found

 

The first line of the script shows that the Bash shell is required to run it.

 

[root@NODE1/temp] head -2 install-nvm-linux-x64-updated.sh
#!/bin/bash
# change the tar ball name, otherwise there will a failure when customer uses the install scrip


It looks like the bash shell (/bin/bash) is not available in ESXi 8. Can you tell me what other options I have to update  the driver for the LOM card (4 NIC ports) on the Lenovo server running ESXi 8?


Regards

Isn’t this update available via Nutanix LCM?

Hi Jeroen! 

At LCM side, the updates that appear are only for the HBA card.
