For adding a new portlet, you need to add the below extension in plugin.xml file :

<extension id="<any user defined id>">

      <extendedPoint>vsphere.core.host.summarySectionViews</extendedPoint>

      <object>

         <name><user definded name></name>

         <componentClass className="<user defined view class>"/>

      </object>

   </extension>
