Unable to deploy Netbackup vSphere client HTML5 plugin

Hello Colleagues,

I am trying to deploy the Netbackup vSphere client HTML5 plugin without succes. The plugin is installed in the vCenter server but it fails in the deploy step.

My versions: NBU 8.3.0.1 (installed on RHEL 8.1) and vCenter Server Appliance 7.0.2.

Backups/restore of VMware VMs are running properly.

-In vSphere client, plugins I see the "Netbackup Plug-in for VMware vSphere Web Client" version 8.3.0.0 with Failed status.

-In the vsphere_client_virgo.log I see the following messages:

      Hello X2, thanks for your reply.

      Actually, I have checked the requisites for the environment and the vSphere used in the customer is not a new installation, he is using vSphere client (not the web client) and the version is 7 update 1.

      I have open a case with Veritas support and I have configured a lab environment, testing different update version of vSphere (7 update 2 and 7 update 1) and finally testing NBU version 9.

      As a conclusion, the Netbackup HTML5 vSphere client plugin is not compatible with vSphere version 7 (there is a installation guide for 8.3 of the HTML5 plugin, this is confused, but this document is wrong). In order to use the html5 plugin, the NBU version must be 9. I have validated this with Veritas support. 

      I hope this information will be usefull for those colleagues that have the same concerns and needs.

       

      Thanks and best regards
