OMIVV 4.3 with VCSA 6.5U2 not working

same here. we have 4 linked vCSA 6.5U2 appliances. The same OMIVV plugin is registered to all 4 using same credentials, but only 2 of the vCenters are showing the tab. I can perform firmware update jobs from those 2 vCSAs to all the other linked vCenters and create connection profiles and apply to their managed hosts, but 2 of the vCenters don't have the tabs neither at the cluster level nor the host level. The plugin administration icon is also missing from the "Home" section on those same 2 vCenters. Like OP, all the vCenters have the plugin registered in http://vcenter/mob with no errors encountered during registration.

Hello

You can find documentation on the OMIVV support page.

I suggest reviewing the release notes for any known issues. Please review the important notes section and issues 4 and 5 in the known issues section to see if they are relevant to your situation.

Thanks

after waiting a few days my OMIVV now shows up properly in vCenter and does inventory OK, but it cannot download firmware from the repository.

Maybe related to the other firmware update server issues that dell is having.

Hi Nickel, 

Can you share what exactly the issue you are facing in downloading the firmware updates from repository? are you using "Dell Default Online" repository or any local repository(cifs/nfs)?

You can do test connection to make sure the firmware repository is accessible (OpenManage Integration > Manage > Settings > Appliance Settings > Firmware Update Repository > Edit).

We tried the issue 5 workaround on the 4.3 release notes with no luck. We unregistered the plugin via OMIVV, deleted the plugin folder within the "/etc/vmware/vsphere-client/vc-packages/vsphere-client-serenity" directory, restarted vcenter web client service, re-registered the OMIVV plugin, no errors appeared anywhere but still no tabs or icon.

seems to be a web GUI issue. the plugin is there and registered but the interface isn't showing up. i can attach connection profiles and perform successful firmware update jobs from other linked vCenters against this vCenter that's having a GUI issue.
