Registered VSI to both vCenters, do not get the EMC VSI option in webclient
Hi,
I have installed the OVF and seemingly successfully installed the plugin.
However, when I look in the vCenter webclient, I do not see the EMC VSI option.
We have 2 vCenters in Linked mode, and I have 'installed' the plugin to both.
However, it should be noted, that in both cases, the vCenter itself, and the webclient portion (along with the inventory service), are not on the same Windows server.
I have cleared my browser cache a few times already and logged out and back in several times.
The version of both vCenters is 5.5.0, build 2183111
The version of VSI is 6.5.1.15
In the classic client, you can see the plugin is actually installed:
Anyone have any suggestions?

I have heard back from an informal EMC contact:
I suppose we will have to wait for a future version...

According to EMC support, Linked mode is not supported. They are recommending we turn this off.
That is quite frustrating to hear. We rely on Linked Mode quite heavily to ease our vSphere administration. Its quite disappointing that VSI, even after all these years, is limited in this way.
I am trying to get out of EMC support if this particular problem is actually indeed caused by Linked-Mode directly, or their statement is just a matter of formality.
