how to determine HP CIM version?

[mstevens492]

I am wondering if anyone knows the command to determine what version of HP CIM is running on our ESXi servers?

I don't have access to a HP host at the moment, but you should be a able to determine whether and which version of the HP CIM providers is installed by running

esxcli software vib list | less

instead of "| less" you could also try"| grep -i HP" or "| grep -i Hewlett" to filter the output.

This worked great for esxi 5.  But before I mark your answer correct, by any chance do you know how to do the same for esxi 4.1?  I know this isn't the 4.1 forum, so I can create a new discussion there if necessary, I just thought I'd ask first.

You can try to use VMware vCLI and run the command

vihostupdate.pl –server <server> –query
