Warning message when upgrading external vCenter
Before upgrading our VxRail cluster from 4.7 to 7.0, I am first upgrading the external vCenter to 7.0.2. During pre-upgrade check, I received warning messges as below:
This vCenter Server has extensions registered that cannot be upgraded to or may not work with the new vCenter Server. Extensions: VxRail HTML5 client Plugin (by DellEMC) on https:// /download/vxrail-plugin .
Anybody had similar experience? Is it safe to continue or is there a fix? Thanks.

Hello medphys,
You can go ahead with the upgrade, but I would open a support case as well. There are some cases where the plugin doesn’t get upgraded correctly. When that happens support can run a patch to fix it & reinstall the VxRail plugin. When you open the support you can reference KB article 000182936.

Did you need to do something special or the old plugin just worked fine?

Hi Mike,
The existing plugin should still work, though there is a newer version than from when this thread started. Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Hi,
I think I have the latest VxRail HTML5 Client Plugin (v7.1) from Dell but I would like to understand whether we need to reinstall or re-register on the new v7 vCenter after upgrade.
As this is not upgrade in place, I was wondering if the upgrade process will take care of this plugin.
Regards
Will

Hello MikeEski,
It should register your new vcenter once the upgrade has been completed as long as you are using the vxrail upgrade iso and not just a vmware upgrade iso.
