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
