Once you register your plug-in package extension, the plug-in is downloaded and deployed on vSphere Web Client startup. You can verify that the deployment procedure is successful by using the log files of the Virgo server.

You can verify that your plug-in package is deployed correctly by searching the log file on the vSphere Web Client Virgo server for your plug-in package ID. If the package is deployed correctly, the plug-in package ID is included in a message about a successful package deployment.

On startup, the vSphere Web Client caches the downloaded plug-in package in one of the following directories on the Virgo server.
