Adding drivers to scripted installation deployments

Adding drivers to scripted installation deployments

You can enable the Driver Feed to update the appliance with the latest device-specific driver packages automatically. When this feature is enabled, any older driver versions that are detected are deleted from the appliance, and replaced with their latest versions. You can also get the drivers from a manufacturer's website or from a different resource, and add the drivers manually to a scripted installation deployment.

During a scripted installation deployment, the appliance automatically pulls all of the drivers from the drivers directory in to the scripted installation. When device drivers or other drivers are in the drivers directory, the scripted installation might fail.

Enable Driver Feed to automate driver updates

Enable Driver Feed to automate driver updates

When you enable the Driver Feed, the appliance performs nightly checks for the latest device-specific drivers. If there is a newer version, the feed updates the database and displays the available drivers on the Driver Feed page.

You can enable the Driver Feed for images captured from the appliance and images captured from a Remote Site Appliance (RSA).

On the left navigation bar, click Library to expand the section, then click Driver Feed.

Select Choose Action > Manage Driver Feed Settings to display the Driver Feed Settings page.

The Driver Feed Status displays Checking for Updates. You can view the list of available driver packages on the Driver Feed page, and download and install packages to the appliance.
