It allows you to register websites or web portals within your vCenter VI Client. It’s a 2 step process. Step1 involves creating an xml which is the visual configuration and contains the actual url link to plugin your website. Step2. Requires you to register this plugin within the VI SDK.
The default location of the XML file is here:
“c:\programfiles\vmware\infrastructure\tomcat\webapps\ui\plugin”
After the second step when you click on the create button, there is a small window which appears and stays there for few seconds. Just the time register the plugin. Then you can safely exit the wizard and you can see the result here.
