Z-Drive 6000 VMware NVMe Device Driver Release Notes

RLSENOTES-ZD6000-VMWARE,NVMe-DRVR, Revision 1 3

Product Overview

The VMware-certified OCZ NVMe device drivers for the OCZ Z-Drive 6000 supports the operation of

the SSDs as a boot device and as a storage device in ESXi 5.0 and 5.1 environments. The installation

package is ocznvme-1.n.yyyy-nnnnnn.zip. To use the Z-Drive 6000 under ESXi 5.5 or 6.0, use the

standard NVMe device driver and tools provided by VMware.

To obtain the installation package, go to ocz.com/enterprise or to the VMware website.

Standard Installation

The zip package contains the OCZ device driver in both of the formats:

VIB file

offline bundle zip file

When using the VMware Update Manager to install the device driver, you must use the offline bundle

zip file.

When using the VMware environment to install the device driver, you can use either file and the

commands esxcli software vib install -d= file_name.

Checking PCIe slot performance

For optimal performance, install the Z-Drive in, or move the Z-Drive to, a PCIe 8-lane Gen 3 slot or

better.

To check the performance of the slot, let the driver load then look in the system message log for a

message similar to:

ocznvme: PCI-E x4, Bandwidth Usage: 8.0 Gbps

If this does not show PCI-E x4 or a bandwidth of 8.0 Gbps, then move it to a slot that meets these

requirements.

Boot Installation

When setting up your Z-Drive 6000 as a boot device, follow the standard VMware instructions. To

install the OCZ device driver in ESXi 5.n, you can use the VMware PowerCLI to create a set-up iso

file that contains the OCZ device driver VIB file.

Hints and Tips

If upgrading your ESXi 5.0 or 5.1 system to ESXi 5.5 or 6.0, you must use the VMware NVMe device

driver instead of the OCZ NVMe device driver. When updating to ESXi 6.0, the VMware NVMe device

driver is automatically installed and used. However when updating to ESXi 5.5 you must manually

download and install the VMware NVMe driver from the VMware website. Do this after you have

performed the ESXi update.

In both cases, your datastore and virtual machines on the NVMe drive are not automatically available

after updating to the VMware NVMe device driver. You must manually import the datastore and virtual

machines as follows:

1From the vSphere client, select Configuration - Storage - Datastore - Add Storage.

2Select the OCZ NVMe drive from the list.

3Select Assign a New Signature and ensure that Format the Disk is not selected. The

datastore is now available.

4Browse the datastore and import the virtual machines.
