vsphere replication 6.5 plugin missing in VCSA 6.5

[POFIT]

Dear All,

I have successfully installed and configured the vsphere replication 6.5.0 on VCSA 6.5. But after logout and login on the vcenter vsphere replication plugin icon missing. I have tried the given below instruction but no luck till now.

• Stop the service by running this command:

          service-control –-stop vsphere-client

• Clean the tomcat cache by removing all files and folders by running this command:

          rm -rf /usr/lib/vmware-vsphere-client/server/work/*     Windows vCenter Server:         C:\Program Files\VMware\vCenter Server\WebClient\server\work

• Clear the serenity DB by running this command:

          rm -rf /storage/vsphere-client/SerenityDB/serenity/*     Windows vCenter Server:         C:\programdata\vmware\vCenterServer\data\vSphere Web Client\SerenityDB\serenity

• Remove/rename the old jar file by running this command:

          cd /usr/lib/vmware-vsphere-client/server/pickup          mv vr-service-6.5.0.xxxxx.jar vr-service-6.5.0.xxxxx.jar.bak     Windows vCenter Server:         C:\Program Files\VMware\vCenter Server\vsphere-client\server\pickup\

• Start the vSphere Client service by running this command:
  
  service-control –-start vsphere-client

You have missed the re-register part. Open the VAMI Page and register the VR appliance back to the vCenter server by clicking Save and Restart the service.

Hi POFIT,

You have mentioned that vcenter is VCSA and mentioned steps are for windows server vcenter not for VCSA.

Okay, anyways - try to restart all the vcenter services from shell and check... If not,

Re-register the vCenter server from vSphere Replication VAMI?

Find the step-by-step configuration from this link and go to stage2, How to Deploy, Install and Configure vSphere Replication 6.5.1 – HyperVMwareCloud

If issue persists after re-register as mentioned above, remove the existing extension and re-register again:

How to delete or unregister vSphere Replication extension or plugin from vCenter Server MOB – HyperV...

or try the steps from this KB article: VMware Knowledge Base

please let us know, which one was helpful.

Regards,
