8. Managing Adapters and Ports

This section describes the various adapter and port management functions you can

perform using the OneCommand Manager application.

Using CIM

VMware on the Visor-based ESX platforms uses the Common Interface Model (CIM) as

the only standard management mechanism for device management. OneCommand

Manager uses the standard CIM interfaces to manage the adapters in the ESX COS and

Visor environments and supports CIM-based device and HBA management.

OneCommand Manager also supports existing HBA management functionality based

on its proprietary management stack and the standard HBAAPI interface.

To manage the adapters on an ESX/ESXi host using OneCommand Manager, you must

install the Emulex CIM Provider on the host.

ESX/ESXi 4.1, and 5.0 come with an inbox Emulex CIM Provider. The inbox Emulex

CIM Provider enables you to manage Emulex LightPulse adapters, but not Emulex

UCNA adapters. To manage Emulex UCNA adapters, you must install the out-of-box

Emulex CIM Provider. The Emulex CIM Provider is available as a 'core kit' rpm in the

ESX COS platform and as an offline bundle in ESXi platforms. VMware recommends

using the offline bundle to update software on VMware platforms.

For more information about the ESX Patch Management activities, refer to the VMware

website.
