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.
