These are devices that VMware Customers, Partners, VMware field personnel (TC's), VMware Professional Services, or VMware Support can certify themselves through:
-
The Quick Driver Tool (QADD) certification toolkit that is available in Network Configuration Manager 4.1.0 and Network Configuration Manager 4.1.1 (Read Only driver creation)
-
The Device Driver Toolkit that is available in Network Configuration Manager 9.6.1 (Read Write driver creation)
-
Manually adding a specific device OID in Network Configuration Manager for a product where the family is already certified in Network Configuration Manager.
For self-certified devices, all the drivers reside in the “custom” driver directory and remain intact, and do not over-write the embedded drivers that are distributed with Network Configuration Manager / DSr updates.
