vSphere Integrated Containers Plug-In Does Not Appear

After you have installed either of the HTML5 or Flex-based plug-ins for vSphere Integrated Containers, the plug-ins do not appear in the HTML5 vSphere Client or the Flex-based vSphere Web Client.

Problem

The UI plug-in installer reported success, but the plug-ins do not appear in the client. Logging out of the client and logging back in again does not resolve the issue.

Cause

  • If a previous attempt at installing the vSphere Integrated Containers plug-ins failed, the failed installation state is retained in the client cache.
  • You installed a new version of the vSphere Integrated Containers plug-ins that has the same version number as the previous version, for example a hot patch.

Solution

Restart the client service.
