A plug-in unregistration command fails.
Problem
You use the plug-in registration tool to unregister a plug-in, but the tool reports a failure to unregister the plug-in.
Cause
The --key argument did not match the extension.key
property of the registration record in the ExtensionManager.
Solution
-
You must use the --action unregisterPlugin argument with a key that matches the key you used to register the plug-in. If you no longer have access to the registration command you used, you can find the extension key value from the registration record in the ExtensionManager by using the following procedure.
-
Connect a web browser to the Managed Object Browser (MOB) of the vCenter Server with which you attempted to register the plug-in.
The MOB URL is https://vcenter_server_FQDN/MOB.
-
To view the ServiceContent data object click the content link.
-
Click the ExtensionManager link to view the ExtensionManager managed object.
-
In the extensionList values, search for the extension key that you used in your registration command.
The more... link enables you to see more of the list of extension keys.
-
Locate the
extension.key
property of the registration record for your plug-in.
-
Retry the unregistration command, supplying a corrected --key argument.
