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.

# esxupdate remove -b <vibID>

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