Storage Drivers for ESX 3.5.x and Microsoft Windows XP When Using the VMware LSI Logic Storage Adapter

Details

You have to download the storage drivers for ESX 3.5.x and Windows XP when using the VMware LSI Logic Storage Adapter.

Solution

Go to www.lsi.com/support and download the LSI driver for LSI20320-R. Make sure you get the Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL) 1.20.18.00 driver for Windows XP (LSI20320-R_xp_50700_01034132IT_1201800_1005239.zip ).

Note: The newer driver, 1.28.03, does not work.

The driver download contains another zip file named symmpi_wXP_1201800.zip . Make a floppy image of the contents of symmpi_wXP_1201800.zip and insert this floppy disk when you are prompted for a driver disk during the Windows XP installation process.
