During vCenter Tasks it will continuously show an error stating "Error downloading plug-in. Ensure that the URL is reachable and the registered thumbprint is correct." , for RecoverPoint flash plug-in. You may see an Error stack in the vCenter Tasks as below (the same output can be found in /var/log/vmware/vsphere-ui/logs/vsphere-client-virgo.log for the affected vCenter): vCenter is trying to download the RPVWCPlugin.zip file, from RecoverPoint Cluster. ( https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/plugin/RPVWCPlugin.zip ), but it fails. When you check the communication between the vCenter and RecoverPoint Cluster (RPA1, RPA2 and management IP), it times out.

In vCenter version 6.7 and below, The cause for the connection failure is related with ports 443 and 9443 being closed between vCenter and RecoverPoint Appliance (RPA) VMs. In vCenter version 7.0 and above, the Flex plug-in is not being used anymore. The errors above might be due to leftover plug-in and files from an older vCenter version.
Workaround: In vCenter 6.7 and below: In order to resolve the communication issue, work with your Network team to allow traffic between vCenter and RPA machines on port 443 and 9443 . After allowing it, you can download and install the plug-in. For further port and security details, see our Security Configuration Guide: https://dl.dell.com/content/docu100469_recoverpoint-for-vms-5-3-security-configuration-guide.pdf In vCenter 7.0 and above: Follow KB 000157983 to clean the leftover Flex Plugin files. Resolution: RecoverPoint Appliance is working as expected, the reason for the symptoms you are experiencing related with configuration issues.
