This topic describes an advanced way to use PowerCLI to register the vSphere
PowerFlex plug-in on a vCenter.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure that there is communication between the vSphere web client server and the web server storing the
PowerFlex plug-in.
About this task
The
PowerFlex plug-in is provided as a ZIP file that can be downloaded by the vSphere web client servers in your environment. The ZIP file can be downloaded directly from the Online Support site, or, if the web servers do not have internet access, from a file server. The
EMC-ScaleIO-vSphere-web-plugin-3.6-X.<build>.zip file is included with the latest gateway rpm (for example,
EMC-ScaleIO-gateway-3.5-1000.175.x86_64.rpm already includes
EMC-ScaleIO-vSphere-web-plugin-3.5.1000.175.zip), so there is no need to manually upload the zip file to the
PowerFlex Gateway.
Steps
You can upload the ZIP file to an HTTP or an HTTPS server.
If you are uploading the ZIP file to an HTTP server, perform the following:
On the computer where the vSphere Web client is installed, locate the
webclient.properties file.
