1. Extract the contents of the async driver zip file.
2. Identify the offline-bundle.zip file(s).
3. Log in to the ESXi host using the vSphere Client with administrator privileges, such as root.
4. Using the Datastore Browser, upload the offline-bundle.zip file(s) to a datastore in the ESXi host.
5. Enter the host into maintenance mode.
6. Log in as the ESXi console root to by using SSH or iLO/DRAC.
7. Copy the offline-bundle.zip file to a datastore accessible by the ESXi host using this command:
   
   cp offline-bundle.zip /vmfs/volumes/datastore_name
8. Run this command to install the drivers using the offline bundle:
   
   esxcli software vib install -d /path/offline-bundle.zip
   
   Note: This command requires an absolute path.
   
   For example:
   esxcli software vib install -d /vmfs/volumes/datastore_name/offline-bundle.zip
   
   Note: If this command fails, unzip the file and try running the same command. If hostd does not respond, try using localcli instead of esxcli.
   
   For example:
   localcli software vib install -d /vmfs/volumes/datastore_name/offline-bundle.zip
9. Restart the ESXi host.
10. To confirm that the VIB is installed successfully, run this command:
    
    esxcli software vib list | grep -i vib_name
11. Exit maintenance mode.

Note: You can remotely update an ESXi host using the esxcli utility, which is part of vSphere CLI. For more information, see the vSphere Command-Line Interface Documentation.
