  1. Click Export Hardware Info. The system exports hardware information about disks of the destination VM in TXT format.

  1. Open the downloaded file to view information about the required drivers. The file name is Destination_VM_name Driver Hardware Info.txt.

  1. Compress driver files to be uploaded into a .zip file and name the compressed file mptspi.zip.

Typically, driver files are .sys or .inf files and .ko files for Windows and Linux, respectively.

Make sure the compressed file does not contain multi-layered folders.

  1. On the detailed task information page, click Import to import the compressed file to CAS CVM.
