Re: [ADSM-L] Vsphere Web Client again

Hi Del



First thanks for this information ....



I am talking about IBM Data Protection I got in the vSphere Web login with two 
tabs "Getting Started" and "Connections".



I only got it on one of my Vcenter in the other one I don't see  it.



About section 3 in your message. I tries to run the setup again , run the 
modify option but still cannot rich the option to check the "vSphere Web Client 
 Plug in"



Did I need to uninstall and re-install ?



I read the paper in the link  and  I do some investigation under  the "VMware 
Managed Object Browser (MOB)"  .



The results:



I login to the MOB and under content -- Extension Manager  I see the key  
com.ibm.tsm.tdpvmware.IBMDataProtection



I look at client and see:      
"https://XXXXXX.haifa.edu:9081/TsmVMwareUI/plugin/IBMRecovery.zip";    (XXXXX is 
my correct DataMover node)



I check to the file IBMRecovery.zip   is present  under folder :



c:\IBM\tivoli\tsm\tdpvmware\webserver\usr\servers\veProfile\apps\tsmVmGUI.war\plugin\IBM



I check to the file:  config.xml  seems OK



But still No IBM Data Protection tag in my vSphere Web client



Regards Robert

Hi Robert,



When you say "plug-in" - are you talking about the icon that shows up under 
"Classic Solutions" in the vSphere Web Client, or the new IBM Data Protection 
GUI that some people still call a "plug-in."



In case you are talking about IBM Data Protection GUI...the basic things to 
check for are:



1) vSphere Web Client is running at build level 5.5. Update 1 or higher.



2) The IBM Data Protection GUI is registered in the vCenter being managed

   by the vSphere Web Client.  The registration keys are discussed on page

12

   of the 7.1.1 Data Protection for VMware User's Guide.



http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS8TDQ_7.1.1/com.ibm.itsm.ve.doc/c_ve_gui_extensions.html

   You should use the vSphere Managed Object Browser on the vCenter to

   check if the keys are present.



3) If the keys are not present, then issue occurred at install, and should 
re-install

   and make sure register extension in web client is selected when installing 
the GUI.

   If the keys are present, then likely a connectivity issue.

   For connectivity, confirm that the machine where the web client is running 
can access

   the machine where the DP for VMWare GUI software is installed - use the MOB 
to go to

   the extension content, and find the URL that is being used to reach the host 
where

   the GUI software (web server) is installed.



If you are talking about the older plugin that shows up under "Classic 
Solutions"

in the vSphere Web Client, and it shows up in a desktop client but not the web 
client, then make sure the classic plugin is enabled in the web client, by doing

following:



1) add in file webclient.properties

   in C:\ProgramData\VMware\vSphere Web Client



          scriptPlugin.enabled = true



2) Restart the web client service





If none of this helps, please open a PMR.





Thank you,



Del
