1. Delete the plug-in present in the path C:\ProgramData\VMware\vSphere Web Client\ vc-packages\vsphere-client-serenity. The plug-in is installed on the system where the vSphere Web Client is running. The ProgramData is a hidden folder. 2. • Restart the VMware vSphere Web Client Service. When HP Insight Control for vCenter is uninstalled, files or folders that are locked by another process are not deleted.
• The network diagram display is incomplete. ◦ When a VM is not accessible by the Hypervisor (such as if the VM is on a datastore which has been detached from the host), the Insight Control for vCenter network diagram is incomplete. Suggested action: Reattach the datastore to the host to get a complete network diagram. ◦ On a configuration with large number of VMs and datastores, it can take a long time for Insight Control for vCenter to draw the network diagram.
This occurs if you do not supply a value in the Gateway or DNS Servers boxes during step 2 of the HP Insight Control Deployment Wizard. Suggested action: Ignore this warning message. After a minute the message vanishes and the installation completes. • Running the HP Insight Control Deployment Wizard on a USB flash drive fails. Suggested action: Install ESX/ESXi on the USB flash drive manually. Insight Control for vCenter does not support deployment on a USB flash drive.
• If the vSphere Client is left idle on the HP Insight Management tab, clicking another link might display the error message This program cannot display the webpage. This issue is seen intermittently. Suggested action: Click the link again to display the page. • HP MSA arrays only: Refresh takes too long. Suggested action: For optimal refresh performance in the GUI, HP recommends using a configuration with 40 or fewer LUNs.
