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.
