You can generate a package for files that you download from a manufacturer's website or from a different source and for files that are larger than 1.5 GB. The appliance restore share directory is the repository for storing packages and files that you can import to the appliance.
The Package Management Export feature creates a .pkg file. The .pkg file contains the drivers and an .xml file with the same name as the .pkg file. The .xml file contains metadata about the drivers. A separate package is created for each selected driver package.

If you start an export of a package while an export process is in progress, the package waits in the queue. The packaging process can take a few minutes to several hours to complete, depending on the size and number of items in the package. The Status column indicates when each export completes.
You can import device-specific and network or storage driver packages from the restore share directory to the appliance. The Import feature is useful when drivers packages are larger than 1.5 GB and when you need to download driver packages from a manufacturer's website, such as audio, video, and chipset drivers that have complex configurations or dependencies.

If the drivers are network or storage drivers, re-cache the drivers. See Re-cache the network and storage driver directory.
There are two boot environment folders in the drivers share directory, and a folder for each supported operating system. Each KBE and operating system type requires its own driver version.
The drivers share directory has the following directory structure:
The driver files from a manufacturer's site generally consist of .inf, .sys, and .cat files. There might be dependent files that the .inf file requires to load the drivers.

Access the drivers share directory of your appliance from the UNC (Universal Naming Convention) path \\<appliance>\drivers, where <appliance> is either the IP address or the DNS name of the appliance. |

Add the driver files to the folder that corresponds to the process to which you want to make the drivers available. For example, add the KBE_driver_pack/kbe_windows_x86 directory in to the corresponding kbe_windows_x86 directory on the appliance. Also, copy the contents of the KBE_driver_pack/kbe_windows_x64 directory in to the corresponding kbe_windows_x64 directory on the appliance. |
