Starting the QLogic Adapter CIM Provider

After a system startup, the Small Footprint CIM Broker (SFCB) CIM object manager (CIMOM) in the ESX

system should start automatically and load the QLogic Adapter CIM Provider when necessary.

For ESX systems, you can also manually stop, start, or restart the SFCB CIMOM by issuing the following

commands.

To stop the SFCB CIMOM and the QLogic Adapter CIM Provider:

# /etc/init.d/sfcbd-watchdog stop

To start the SFCB CIMOM and the QLogic Adapter CIM Provider:

# /etc/init.d/sfcbd-watchdog start

To restart the SFCB CIMOM and the QLogic Adapter CIM Provider:

# /etc/init.d/sfcbd-watchdog restart

After starting the SFCB CIMOM, use a CIM client utility to query the QLogic Adapter CIM Provider for

information.

Removing the QLogic Adapter CIM Provider

To remove the QLogic Adapter CIM Provider, use either the esxupdate or vihostupdate command.

To uninstall the QLogic Adapter CIM Provider using the esxupdate command:

1. Query and find the existing VIB you are updating as follows:

# esxupdate query --vib-view | grep qlogic

For example, the VIB ID may have a format similar to the following:

ESX/ESXi 4.0: cross_qlogic-nic-provider_400.x.x.x-000000

ESX/ESXi 4.1: cross_qlogic-nic-provider_410.x.x.x-000000

where x.x.x is the version number of the existing provider.

2. Remove the existing VIB as follows:

# esxupdate remove -b <vibID>

To uninstall from a remote host using the vihostupdate command:

1. From a console on the host where the vSphere CLI package is installed or vMA is hosted, query to find

the Bulletin ID of the existing provider:

# vihostupdate.pl <conn_options> --query\

For example, the Bulletin ID may have a format similar to the following:

ESX/ESXi 4.0: QLGC_NIC_PROVIDER-ESX-4.0.0-qlogic-nic-provider-x.x.x

ESX/ESXi 4.1: QLGC_NIC_PROVIDER-ESX-4.1.0-qlogic-nic-provider-x.x.x

where x.x.x is the version number of the existing provider.

Note: To uninstall the provider from a remote host using the vihostupdate command, make sure

that the ESX/ESXi system is in maintenance mode. To put the ESX/ESXi host in

maintenance mode using vSphere Client, select Inventory, select Host, and then select

Enter Maintenance Mode.
