Remote Plugin Uninstallation

Unregistering a plug-in package from vCenter Server causes the vSphere Client service to delete the plug-in from the environment. A vCenter Server instance notifies all linked vCenter Server instances as soon as the plug-in is unregistered. The linked vCenter Server instances undeploy the plug-in, by using the following steps:
  • Delete the plug-in from internal extension point tables.
  • Delete the plug-in's reverse proxy routing rules.
  • Delete the plug-in's manifest from cache.
While the process of uninstallation takes place, the vSphere Client UI does not wait for the process to complete. You might need to refresh the browser window after the vSphere Client displays a notification that the uninstallation is complete.
