VCenter HTML5 plugin problem

alireza1023
Level 4

Hi

I have NetBackup 8.2 and want install plugin for vsphere client 6.7 U2 (Html5)

in Support for NetBackup 7.7.x and 8.x in virtual environments Requirement is:

The NetBackup plug-in for vSphere Client (HTML5) is introduced at NetBackup 8.1.2.

vSphere Client (HTML5) 6.5 update 1 and later

is it included vSphere Client (HTML5) 6.7 update 2?

 

as Veritas NetBackup™ Plug-in for VMware vSphere Client (HTML5) Guide Release I followed this steps:

master and media server are as backup host

the credential is administrator, DNS name and fqdn is OK, credential has Extension privilege, the VimApiUrl and Runtime value is OK, I execute vwcp_manage.exe and everything is ok and said:

The NetBackup Plug-in for VMware vSphere Web Client is currently not registered with the vCenter server.
The NetBackup Plug-in for VMware vSphere Web Client has been registered successfully. Please see the topic 'Port usage for the plug-in' in the Web Client plug-in guide for a list of standard ports used by the NetBackup Plug-in for VMware vSphere Web Client.

I reloeded HTML5 page (log off and login) but plugin is not available, but in FLEX it's OK

in event said:

Cannot complete the operation. See the event log for details.

This is a vSphere Web Client (Flash) only plugin indicated by the missing type="html" plugin manifest attribute.

in https://communities.vmware.com/thread/609452 it says:

There is a new vSphere Client (HTML) feature in 6.7U2 that displays plugin deployment status messages for the HTML Client. and another one says:

I think this is why the error messages happened . That is flash only plugin , when you login HTML5 web client , this plugin is incompatible. I think we can ignore the error message.

I dunno this message is for HTML5 or Flex.

 

in vsphere_client_virgo.log I found this:

All I have to add is that  6.7 U2 is certainly supported by NBU 8.1.2 and 8.2 (as per the OS SCL ). 

I think that you should log a call with Veritas Support, as this seems to be related to the plugin and not general compatibility. 

PS: 
Best to add log files to a .txt file that you upload as an attachment. I found your post in the spam quarrantine - possibly because of the amount of text in the post..

Thanks Marianne

yes, my question is about Plugin and I guess it's not compatible with VCenter 6.7 U2

The old problem referred to in the prior vox threads is solved in NetBackup 8.2. The cause was two dots in the vSphere version, such as 6.7.1. The plug-in registration code was trying to interpret this as a decimal number.

I don't know what the current problem is. I defer to the experts on this.

now vcenter 6.7.3 released

I'm afraid of Veritas solve it for 6.7.2 and again doesn't work

I had bad experience with VCenter Plugins in VCenter Upgrade

I had SRM and upgrading is failed, deregistering and uninstalling plugin not solved the problem

then installed new VCenter!!!

I have the same problem for NetBackup plug-in 8.2 and version 6.7.0U2. In 6.7.0U1, 6.7.0U1a, and 6.7.0U1b, this works correctly but not after upgrading to 6.7.0U2, although it is on the list of supported.

We have an engineering escalation that seems to be on the same issue. We can't reproduce it yet in house. Your evidence may help. Kindly refer your Veritas Support engineer to Service Request 3984013.

You have a solution because my support engineer didn't respond at all.
Unfortunately I have already vcsa 6.7.0 U3, but it did not work on version 6.7.0 U2 nor on version 6.7.0 U2c. Last time it worked correctly on version 6.7.0U1b.
NetBackup is version 8.2

The Service Request I mentioned is still open. Our engineer still has not been able to reproduce the problem. He has pointed out that the procedure for replacing the plugin includes manual removal of some files before regiestering the new plug-in.

See https://www.veritas.com/content/support/en_US/doc/95632443-127304944-0/v97544734-127304944as. It's for the Flex appliance, but the procedure is more broadly applicable.

1) /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/vwcp_manage -u <username> -p <passwordfile> -v <vcenter> --unregister
2) ssh -l root <vcenter>
*3) find / | grep -i netbackup
*4) remove files found in step 3
5) service-control --stop vsphere-ui
6) service-control --start vsphere-ui
7) /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies/vwcp_manage -u <username> -p <passwordfile> -v <vcenter> --register
8) service-control --stop vsphere-ui
9) service-control --start vsphere-ui

* The Service Request recommends that you also check for and remove "NBUMonitor" files:

find / | grep -i NBUMonitor

Link See is correct in this form:
without the two letters "as" at the end.
I have done everything written there 58 times without it working properly.
Don't take the number 58 times literally, I mean very many times
It works right up to U1b since U2 no longer.

I can confirm that plugin doesn't work with vcenter 6.7u3 (HTML5-client). vCenter events are showing an invinite status running during plugin deployment.

Within the very same vCenter Veritas NetBackup 8.2 plugin works very well when I use Flash Client instead.

It is a real shame that such things are not getting fixed over months.

The service request 3984013 that I mentioned earlier in this thread was fixed in October with an EEB. The root cause was a change in vSphere 6.7 U2.
