Installing the QLogic Adapter CIM Provider
This section describes how to install and start the QLogic Adapter CIM Provider
for VMware ESX/ESXi. Because multiple zip packages exist, make sure that you
select the zip package that matches your environment: ESXi 6.0, ESXi 6.5,
ESXi 6.7, or ESXi 7.0.
Initial Installation Methods
Initial installation methods for the QLogic Adapter CIM Provider include the
following:
 Online—Refer to “To install the CIM Provider on an ESXi 6.x or 7.0 host:” on
page 15.
 Offline—Refer to Appendix A Installing the QLogic Adapter CIM Provider
Using VUM.
NOTE
The QLogic Adapter CIM Provider for VMware ESX was generated as a
vSphere Installation Bundle (VIB) file. A VIB contains the complete set of
files and binaries required to install the provider on VMware ESX/ESXi. The
file offline-bundle.zip contains the VIB and the necessary metadata
to install the provider on VMware ESX/ESXi.
The CIM Provider bundled with the current vCenter Server Plug-in also
includes a zip bundle to be used with VMware Update Manager (VUM) for
auto-deployment of the QLogic Adapter CIM Provider.
