Downloading and installing MBR tools for ESX hosts

If you have an ESX host, you must download and install the version of the MBR tools for ESX. These tools must be installed and run directly on the ESX host. You cannot run these tools from the vSphere Client, vCenter Server, or VSC for VMware vSphere server.
Before you begin

You must be able to open a console connection to the ESX host.
Steps

Open the vSphere Client and log into your vCenter Server.
Select a Datacenter in the Inventory panel, and then select the NetApp tab.
In the
Monitoring and Host Configuration
 capability, select the Tools panel.
Under MBR Tools, click the appropriate Download button that states for (For ESX 4.x).
If you download the wrong MBR tools file for your host, the tools will not work.
When the File Download dialog is displayed, click Save.
Copy the MBR tools file to the root (/) directory of the host computer.
You might need to open ESX firewall ports to enable copying the tools to the host.
Note: The MBR tools libraries must be located in specific directories on the host. Be sure to download the file to the root directory.
Extract the files on the ESX host using the by entering the following command:tar -Pzxf mbrtools.tar.gz
The -P option places the files in the required directories. You can move the binary files to any location, but the library files must be located in the specific directories to which they are originally extracted.
After you finish

Run the mbralign tool to check and fix the partition alignment.
