For example: Version: 6.7.0.41703 Extract the Update Manager Plug-in zip files downloaded in Step 2: Note: The target directories must contain the plug-in versions registered in VMware Update Manager vum-htmlclient.zip to com.vmware.vum.client-<version> vumclient.zip to com.vmware.vcIntegrity.vcIntegrity-<version> For example: unzip /etc/vmware/vsphere-ui/cm-service-packages/com.vmware.cis.vsphereclient.plugin/vum-htmlclient.zip -d /etc/vmware/vsphere-ui/cm-service-packages/com.vmware.cis.vsphereclient.plugin/com.vmware.vum.client-6.7.0.41703 unzip /etc/vmware/vsphere-client/cm-service-packages/com.vmware.cis.vsphereclient.plugin/vumclient.zip -d /etc/vmware/vsphere-client/cm-service-packages/com.vmware.cis.vsphereclient.plugin/com.vmware.vcIntegrity.vcIntegrity-6.7.0.41703 Change the owners of the plug-in directories. vsphere-ui for /etc/vmware/vsphere-ui/cm-service-packages/com.vmware.cis.vsphereclient.plugin/com.vmware.vum.client-<version> vsphere-client for /etc/vmware/vsphere-client/cm-service-packages/com.vmware.cis.vsphereclient.plugin/com.vmware.vcIntegrity.vcIntegrity-<version> For example: chown -R vsphere-ui /etc/vmware/vsphere-ui/cm-service-packages/com.vmware.cis.vsphereclient.plugin/com.vmware.vum.client-6.7.0.41703 chown -R vsphere-client /etc/vmware/vsphere-client/cm-service-packages/com.vmware.cis.vsphereclient.plugin/com.vmware.vcIntegrity.vcIntegrity-6.7.0.41703 Remove the plug-in zip files from their locations from Step 2. For example: rm /etc/vmware/vsphere-ui/cm-service-packages/com.vmware.cis.vsphereclient.plugin/vum-htmlclient.zip rm /etc/vmware/vsphere-client/cm-service-packages/com.vmware.cis.vsphereclient.plugin/vumclient.zip Restart vSphere Client and vSphere Web Client: service-control --restart vsphere-ui service-control --restart vsphere-client Log in to both the clients and validate Update Manager plug-in availability.
