Plugin VUM not in the good version

Hello everyone,

I recently migrated our infrastructure to ESX, vCenter and vSphere 5.1 to 5.5.0c

I also uninstalled and installed the "vSphere Update Manager" with the version 5.5.0c

When I go to the plugin section of the 'vCenter - vSphere client"I have a plugin in version 5.1.0.13071 and I am unable to install (or enable) version 5.5.

First I tried to disable the plugin (right click in the window above) and "Re-register to vCenter Server" of the VMwareUpdateManagerUtility.exe on the server "vSphere Update Manager.  == > Unsuccessfully

I looked on the Web site http://IP_OF_MY_VCENTER/mob/?MOID=ExtensionManager to try to find the VUM plugin. Unfortunately, I could not determine the name of the plugin in the next screen == > without success

I then tried the rest of the "vSphere Update Manager server":

-launch the following command in the folder C:\Program Files (x 86) line \VMware\Infrastructure\Update Manager\ to try to update the plugin: vciinstallutils.exe - v IP_OF_MY_VCENTER_SERVER 80 - U root ROOT_PASSWORD s extension.xml Pei Pei - c. - l. extupdate == > unsuccessfully

-J' I also try the same line command but with other parameters such as extdelete (to remove the extension) and extadd (to install the plugin) == > unsuccessfully

Does anyone has an idea that could allow me to install/register/activate the new version of the plugin VUM?

Last important point: the v5.1.0.13071 actually installed the plugin is functional. Then... there at - it a problem in the version number displayed?

Thanks in advance

Thierry

Hi all

This message to tell you that I found the solution. In fact, I'm really ashamed.

I did the whole process VUM installation WITHOUT having to restart my 'vCenter - vSphere Client. That's all.

When I rebooted my 'vCenter - vSphere Client", I was able to download and install the plugin VUM v5.5.0.17854. (as shown in the following screenshot).

So the lesson for me is: 'always restart your vSphere Client when you perform updates.

Sorry to annoy him and thank you all.

Thierry
