How to make available NSX (Network Security & administration) from the Home Tab of vCenter?

[VPXA]

After EOL of adobe flash player, we can not able to view the NSX TAB (Network Security & administration) SRM Tab to manage the environment, looking for your advices and suggestions to make it visible.
Had a discussion with VMware Support, they provided a fix (KB) to enable the Adobe Flash options, which is helping for time being.

Please provide me the suggestions for the same.

May i know what version of NSX-V and Center Server is running in the platform? 

[VPXA]

vCenter 6.5u3

NSX (Guest Introspection) 6.3.2

Guest introspection in the HTML5 client only came on NSX-V 6.4.9. On earlier versions this is only available in the flash client.

Take a look at this doc that shows when and which features were ported to the non-flash client: Functionality Updates for VMware NSX for vSphere - UI Plugin for vSphere Client

The only way for older versions is to use a workaround to enable flash on the browser.

Thank you for this information,

we are planning for "VMware NSX for vSphere 6.4.8 | 10 AUG 2020 | Build 16724220"  with existing vCetner 6.5u3, which will give the VMware NSX for vSphere - UI Plugin right!

Hi @VPXA,

You actually need 6.4.9 though. Have a look at the link provider earlier:

Functionality Updates for VMware NSX for vSphere - UI Plugin for vSphere Client

we can not enable flash right after the EOL and heard from support team, from 6.4.8 version the NSX plugin is available for the HTML5 clietn , which is previously available for adobe flash.

If support said it's available on 6.4.8 then go ahead. But the documentation states it's only available on 6.4.9. I have 6.4.7 on my test environment and it's not available for sure.
