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).

1.
On the left navigation bar, click Library to expand the section, then click Driver Feed.
2.
Select Choose Action > Manage Driver Feed Settings to display the Driver Feed Settings page.
3.
Select the Enable Driver Feed check box and click Save.
4.
Optional. If you want to download updated drivers as they become available, select Automatically Download Updated Drivers. To disable this option, clear the check box.
5.
Click Check for Updates.
6.
Click Save.

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. You can also subscribe to an email notification for driver feed activity. For more information, see Configure email notifications.

* 
NOTE: The Dashboard enables you to install the Driver Feed widgets that show which drivers are new, updated drivers, and drivers that have been updated based on what is installed.

Disable Driver Feed

Disable Driver Feed

Disabling the Driver Feed prevents the feed from overriding newly added drivers. You can disable the Driver Feed for images captured from a appliance and for images captured from a Remote Site Appliance (RSA).

You can manually add and remove drivers. For example, you can add device drivers that do not get updated from the Driver Feed or device drivers to the drivers_postinstall directory. You can add and remove network and storage drivers to the drivers directory.

1.
On the left navigation pane, click Library to expand the section, then click Driver Feed.
2.
Select Choose Action > Manage Driver Feed Settings to display the Driver Feed Settings page.
3.
Clear the Enable Driver Feed check box.
4.
Click Save.

Create folders to add device-specific drivers

Create folders to add device-specific drivers

When adding drivers manually, you can create folders to organize the device-specific drivers by assigning the manufacturer name to a folder, and adding subfolders under the manufacturer name to organize further.

View the appliance Driver Compatibility Report, which lists the drivers that the device requires compared to the drivers available on the Source Media.

1.
Access the drivers_postintall share directory of your appliance from the UNC path \\<appliance>\drivers_postinstall where <appliance> is either the IP address or the DNS name of the appliance.
2.
Create the folder using the Manufacturer name\OS Name\Model name structure.
The path to the drivers, including the driver name, cannot exceed 255 characters, and the directories and driver names do not support special characters. You can run the driver_feed_discovery_tool.vbs script on the device to get the device model and manufacturer name. The script is located in the drivers_postinstall\feeds_tools directory.
