Unable to deploy sample remote plugin for the vSphere Client (plugin does not appear in vSphere cli)

puneeth-sai — Tue, 22 Feb 2022 06:15:05 GMT

I tried to deploy sample remote plugin for vSphere Client as they provided sample in vsphere-client-sdk. It got registered successfully to vCenter. But the plug-in does not appear in the vSphere Client.

versions I used :

vSphere Client version 7.0.2.00000
sdk : vsphere-client-sdk-7.0.2.00000

And checked the logs and found below error :

Updated extensions: com.vmware.sample.remote:1.0.0
Deleted extensions: none
[2022-02-16T05:08:04.074Z] [ERROR] plugin-discovery-bus-thread com.vmware.vise.vim.extension.discovery.VcPackagesDiscoverer Error creating a VcRemotePluginPackageInfo from extension with id com.vmware.sample.remote:1.0.0.

Hi puneeth-sai

The thumbprint must be in a colon separated format.
Namely the thumbprint that you provided

555db10de0333e10ab1ef4866261f07f93fef69b

should look like this

55:5D:B1:0D:E0:33:3E:10:AB:1E:F4:86:62:61:F0:7F:93:FE:F6:9B

I have a similar problem. But Thumbprint is spelled correctly
vSphere Client version 7.0.3.00700
sdk : vsphere-client-sdk-7.0.3.00000

./extension-registration.sh -action registerPlugin --key com.pmc.maxview.maxviewvsphere -url https://vsphere.local/sdk --username administrator@vsphere.local -password 124fgh --version 1.0.0 --vcenterServerThumbprint C8:A0:24:39:B7:10:E1:F9:7B:87:E0:F5:36:AA:C4:48:98:17:EE:82 --pluginUrl https://vsphere.local/catalog/maxView-plugin.zip -serverThumbprint serverThumbprint

Sorry.
I realized that serverThumbprint is not specified.
Everything is working
