Plug-in Unregistration from a Manual Installation

If you have performed a manual installation of the vCenter plug-in, you must perform a manual uninstall
before running the vCenter installation wizard.
VMware provides two type of scripts for vCenter plug-in registration:
• For Windows PowerShell
• For Perl: http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-4530
1. Before you can use the script, download the appropriate VI SDK from VMware.
• For PowerShell, download vSphere PowerCLI:
http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/vsphere/automationtools/powercli
• For Perl VI SDK, download vSphere SDK for Perl:
http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/
2. After you download and install the SDK and the registration script, follow the VMware instructions to
register the vCenter Plug-in.
For example, the Perl unregister command is:
perl registerPlugin.pl --server="127.0.0.1" -username="administrator"
--password="password" --key="com.qlogic.QLogicAdapterVIPlugIn" --action="remove"
3. Replace the username and password with the correct information to log into the vCenter Server.

Launching the Plug-in from vSphere Client

To launch the plug-in from vSphere client:
1. Start the vSphere Client and connect to the vCenter Server. (If you start and connect the vSphere Client
directly to an ESX or ESXi server, the vCenter plug-in does not appear.)
2. If you have not done so, create a data center and add the ESX server.
3. In the left pane, select the server.
A row of tabs appear in the right pane. If the server has QLogic Adapter CIM Provider and adapters
installed, and if the vCenter plug-in installation and registration were successful, the QLogic Adapter
tab appears in the tab row.
4. Click the QLogic Adapter tab to view a web page.
