You can disable an Orchestrator plug-in from the Plug-ins tab, but this does not remove the plug-in file from the file system. To remove the plug-in file, you must log in to the machine on which the Orchestrator server is installed and remove the plug-in file manually.
Procedure
1 | Log in as an administrator to the machine on which the Orchestrator server is installed. |
2 | Navigate to the Orchestrator installation folder.
|
|
|---|
|
If you installed Orchestrator with the vCenter Server installer
|
Go to install_directory\VMware\Infrastructure\Orchestrator\app-server\server\vmo\plugins.
|
|
If you installed the standalone version of Orchestrator
|
Go to install_directory\VMware\Orchestrator\app-server\server\vmo\plugins.
|
|
3 | Delete the .dar and .war archives that contain the plug-in to remove. |
4 | Restart the vCenter Orchestrator services.
The plug-in is removed from the Orchestrator configuration interface.
|
5 | Delete the plug-in configuration files.
■
|
If the plug-in has its configuration stored in a configuration
file in the default configuration directory, delete that file from
the following path: install_directory/app-server/server/vmo/conf/plugins/.
|
■
|
If the plug-in has a configuration tab in the Orchestrator
Configuration interface, you can remove the tab, by deleting the
files it from the following path: install_directory/configuration/jetty/contexts/.
|
|
6 | Log in to the Orchestrator client. |
7 | Select Administer from the drop-down menu in the left upper corner. |
8 | Click the Packages view. |
9 | Right-click the package to delete, and select Delete element with content. Note
Orchestrator elements that are locked in the read-only state, for example workflows in the standard library, are not deleted.
|
10 | Click Delete all. |
11 | Restart the vCenter Orchestrator services. |
You removed all custom workflows and actions, policies, Web views, configurations, settings, and resources that the plug-in contains.
