Installing MegaCLI for VMware 5.0
MegaCLI is packaged into a vSphere Installation Bundle (VIB) for VMware 5.0.
To install the VIB, use the following command:
esxcli software vib install -v=<path to CLI VIB> --force --maintenance-mode --no-sig-check
In the above command, the parameters specify the following information:
![]()
force: Bypasses checks for package dependencies, conflicts, obsolescence, and acceptance levels.
![]()
maintenance-mode: Pretends that the maintenance mode is in effect. Otherwise, the installation stops for live installs that require maintenance mode.
![]()
no-sig-check: Bypasses acceptance level verification, including signing.
For example, if the MegaCLI VIB, vmware-esx-MegaCli-8.02.14.vib, is present in the /tmp directory, it can be installed using this command:
After the MegaCLI package is installed, it is available in the /opt/lsi/MegaCLI directory.
To uninstall the VIB, use the following command:
esxcli software vib remove --force -n=<name of the VIB>
For example, if you are uninstalling the vmware-esx-MegaCli-8.02.14.vib, use the following command:
esxcli software vib remove --force -n=vmware-esx-MegaCli-8.02.14
