Enabling Server Administrator Services On The Managed System
The Server Administrator Web Server communicates with the VMware ESXi system through the Server Administrator
Common Interface Model (CIM) provider. The Server Administrator CIM provider is an Original Equipment Manufacturer
(OEM) provider on the VMware ESXi system. CIM OEM providers are disabled by default on VMware ESXi 4.0 and ESXi
4.1. Enable the CIM OEM providers on the VMware ESXi system before accessing it using Server Administrator Web
Server.
NOTE: In ESXi 4.1 U2, ESXi 5.0 U1 CIM OEM provider is enabled by default.
Enabling CIM OEM Providers Using vSphere Client (For VMware ESXi4.0/ESXi 4.1)
To enable CIM OEM providers using VMware vSphere Client, you must have the vSphere Client tool installed. You can
download and install the tool from https://<
IP_address of ESXi host
> where <ip_address> is the IP address of the
VMware ESXi system.
To enable CIM OEM providers on the VMware ESXi system using vSphere Client:
1.
Log on to the VMware ESXi host system using vSphere Client.
2.
Click the Configuration tab.
3.
Under the Software section on the left side, click Advanced Settings.
4.
In the Advanced Settings dialog box, click UserVars on the left pane.
5.
Change the value of the CIMOEMProvidersEnabled (for ESXi 4.0) or CIMoemProviderEnabled (for ESXi 4.1) field to 1.
6.
Click OK.
7.
For the changes to take effect without restarting the system, use the Restart Management Agents option in the
Direct Console User Interface (DCUI) on the local console of the VMware ESXi system.
NOTE: This option is available under Troubleshooting Options in ESXi 4.1.
If the changes are not effective and you cannot connect to the VMware ESXi host using Server Administrator,
restart the VMware ESXi host system.
Enabling CIM OEM Providers Using vSphere CLI (For VMware ESXi 4.0/ESXi 4.1)
To enable CIM OEM providers on the VMware ESXi system using vSphere CLI:
1.
If you are using vSphere CLI on Windows, navigate to the directory where you have installed the vSphere CLI
utilities. On Linux, proceed to step 2.
2.
Execute the command
vicfg-advcfg.pl --server <ip_address of ESXi host> --username
<user_name> --password <password> --set 1 UserVars.CIMOEMProvidersEnabled
NOTE: For ESXi 4.0, use CIMOEMProvidersEnabled and for ESXi 4.1, use CIMoemProviderEnabled.
The .pl extension is not required if you are using vSphere CLI on Linux.
3.
For the changes to take effect without restarting the system, use the Restart Management Agents option in the
DCUI on the local console of the VMware ESXi system.
NOTE: This option is available under Troubleshooting Options in ESXi 4.1.
If the changes are not effective and you cannot connect to the VMware ESXi host using Server Administrator,
restart the VMware ESXi host system.
