Unregistering and Re-Registering the Plug-In (VMware)

You can unregister the vCenter plug-in and then reregister it again. You may need to do this in following scenarios:

• You are migrating the CommServe from one computer to another.

• You perform a CommServe failover.

• You want to use the plug-in for a different vCenter.

• You upgrade the Virtual Server Agent on the client used for registering the plug-in.

• You upgrade the Web Server and Web Console.

Follow the steps given below to unregister the plug-in:

1. From the CommCell Console, navigate to Client Computers > virtualization_client > Virtual Server.

2. Right-click VMware and click Properties.

3. Clear the Register vCenter Plugin check box to unregister the plug-in.

4. Click OK to save the instance.

5. Login to vCenter Server using vSphere client.

6. Click Plug-ins > Manage Plug-ins.

7. Ensure that the Manage Virtual Machine plug-in is not available in the Plug-in Manager.

Once you create a new VMware vCenter client for a vCenter, you must register the plug-in again by selecting the Register vCenter Plugin check box on the Virtual Server Instance Properties dialog box. If you do not register the plug-in, the Manage Virtual Machine plug-in will not be available in the Plug-in Manager in the vSphere Client.
