PowerProtect Data Manager 19.10 Security Configuration Guide
Reinstall the PowerProtect plug-in for the vSphere client
After you replace the default self-signed security certificates, there may be a brief delay before PowerProtect Data Manager exchanges the new certificates with attached vCenters.
About this task
During this period, you may see errors in the vSphere client PowerProtect portlet when you select virtual machines:
- Service Unavailable: Please contact your administrator.
- No healthy upstream.
The PowerProtect plug-in automatically refreshes the connection at the top of every hour and applies the new certificates to correct the condition. To immediately apply the new certificates, complete this task to reinstall the PowerProtect plug-in for each attached vCenter.
The PowerProtect Data Manager Administration and User Guide provides more information about working with the PowerProtect portlet and plug-in.
Only the Administrator role can reinstall the plug-in.
