Updating 3ware Drivers under VMware
Driver updates for the 3ware RAID controller will be available from 3ware as RPMs.
The following steps describe how to update the 3ware driver under VMware.
 
Warning: Backup your original driver before updating in case you need to revert back to it. However, you will not be able to revert back to the original driver if you are booting from that unit.
 
Note: If you wish to revert to a version of the driver that is older than the one presently installed, you will first need to uninstall the present driver. For details, see Uninstalling 3DM Software on VMware.
