在esxi上升级CX341A固件

之前买的CX341a用pve没出现过问题，换成Esxi平台之后，出现断网情况，horizon连不上，通过VMware兼容网站查询之后，发现当前的卡固件偏低，需要升级到2.42.5000。本文记录一下升级过程，

CX341A是mellanox的产品，需要下载他的mft工具才能升级

mft下载：https://www.mellanox.com/products/adapter-software/firmware-tools

如上图的俩个文件。

1、先把2个vib文件和固件通过网页上传到datastore中，开启主机的SSH

2、安装固件程序

esxcli software vib install -v /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/nmst-4.17.0.106-1OEM.650.0.0.4598673.x86_64.vib


esxcli software vib install -v /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/mft-4.17.0.106-10EM-650.0.0.4598673.x86_64.vib

可以看到成功之后的提示，Reboot Required: true， 所以需要重启主机才能生效。

3、重启之后，我们继续ssh进入

    You are about to replace current PSID on flash - "MT_1270112023" with a different PSID - "MT_1270110023".
    Note: It is highly recommended not to change the PSID.
