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.
2. Remove the existing VIB as follows:
# vihostupdate.pl <conn_options> --remove --bulletin
<bulletinID>
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.
