If you upgrade from ESXi 5.1 Patch Release ESXi510-201605001 to ESXi Patch Release ESXi600-201608001 and apply a Host Profile extracted from the ESXi 5.1 Patch Release ESXi510-201605001, the SSLv3 protocol gets enabled for the SFCBD service.

Perform the following steps to disable SSLv3 for the SFCBD service:

1. Log in to ESXi using SSH.
   
   
2. Run the following command to open SFCBD configuration file:
   
   vi /etc/sfcb/sfcb.cfg
   
   
3. Edit the configuration file to add new entry similar to the following. If the entry exists, set the value to false:
   
   enableSSLv3: false
   
   
4. Save the file.
   
   
5. Restart the service with the following command for the configuration to take effect:
   
   /etc/init.d/sfcbd-watchdog restart
