• Protocol: The http or https protocol can be used to connect to the ESX hosts. The default
port numbers used for http and https are 5988 and 5989 respectively. The port number will
change automatically according to the protocol selected. The user can also manually
change the port number. Since, by default, the HTTP is disabled on sfcb in ESXi host, user
should use HTTPS to communicate to the ESXi host.
• User name: The user name field contains the username with which to connect to the ESX
hosts. By default this will be ‘root’
• Password: This password field will contain the password of the user name which will be
used to connect to the ESX host.
• Namespace: Namespace is the namespace of the emulex provider.
For ESX/ESXi 40 and 41, the namespace is ‘root/emulex’.
For ESX 3.5, the namespace is ‘elxhbacmpi/cimv2 ’.
Note: If the Emulex CIM Provider present in ESXi / ESX is inbox provider, then the namespace to be used is
“elxhbacmpi/cimv2”. If the out-of-box CIM Provider is installed, then the namespace to be used is “root/
emulex”.
Table 2, “Namespaces Used for Providers,” lists the namespaces to be used with the
inbox providers and the out-of-the-box providers for various versions of ESX/ESXi:
To check whether the CIM Provider is inbox or out-of-box, enter the following command on the
ESX/ESXi host.
~ # esxupdate --vib-view query | grep emulex-cim-provider
If the provider name is prefixed with deb, it is an inbox provider. If the provider name is prefixed with
cross, it is an out-of-box provider as shown in the following response samples:
deb_emulex-cim-provider_410.2.0.32.1-207424
