PCNS 4.3 Plug-in for vSphere 6.7

[BillP]

Have performed a clean install of PCNS 4.3 appliance but client plugin does not appear in vSphere 6.7.

It is listed as Incompatible under Administration - Client Plugins - with "The plug-in supports only vSphere Web Client (Flash)"

I have the Powerchute vSphere Plug-in option selected under vCenter Server details.

Any suggestions please?

Hi,

The Plug-in is only compatible with the Flash base vSphere web client. It is not compatible with the HTML 5 UI. This issue will be address in a future release of PowerChute.

Hi - is there a likely time frame for this given that vSphere 7.0 is now released and Flex version is depracated?

[BillP]

Hi,

No date has been set. I anticipate a HTML version prior to 2021 since support for Flash officially ends at the end of 2020.

Note: the vSphere Plugin is not required for PowerChute to operate in terms of core functionality and providing graceful shutdown. The plug-in is simply a means of accessing the PowerChute UI from within the vSphere Client. If running Flex is not an option PowerChute can be access by opening a browser tab and entering the ip address of the PowerChute client. Example https://192.168.10.10:6547. Once that has been done you can bookmark the page for easy access.
