Using the integrated solution install mechanism

How do we generate a new solution install token to re-register or update a plugin's registration ? I cannot find the api/ui/solutioninstall documentation in vSphere Automation SDK or vSphere Management SDK

Hi,

 

The solution install token is a one-time token that is injected in the deployed VM and has a lifespan of 30 minutes. It is intended to be used for the solution's extension registration and, because of security concerns, cannot be regenerated.

The "api/ui/solutioninstall" is an API of the vSphere UI and is not a part of the mentioned SDKs. You can find more information in the vSphere Client SDK official documentation.

After the solution plugin has been registered, you can log in the vSphere UI, go to the plugin UI and initiate extension update by passing the session information to the plugin's backend which can obtain a vCenter Server session and call the vCenter Server APIs.

 

Best Regards,

Denis
