Plug-in Unregistration from a Manual Install

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 PowerShell scripting:
http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-4521
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 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

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 already 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.
