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.
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.
