Notes on using the vSphere Client (HTML5) plug-in in a VMware Platform Services Controller (PSC) environment
For the vCenter servers that a VMware Platform Services Controller (PSC) manages, note the following about the NetBackup plug-in:
The Plug-in must be accessible to all the vCenter servers under the PSC. The plug-in only needs to be installed on one of the vCenter servers. All the NetBackup primary servers associated with the vCenter, should be registered with the plug-in. The installed plug-in is accessible to all the vCenter servers under the PSC.
You must register the NetBackup primary server on each vCenter server where virtual machines are to be restored.
Backups of the virtual machines that reside on vCenter servers under the PSC can be restored to any vCenter under the PSC. Backups of the virtual machines that reside on vCenter servers outside of the PSC cannot be restored to vCenter servers under the PSC.
For example: A VM was backed up on vCenter 1. To restore that VM to vCenter 2, both vCenters need to be under the same PSC. In this case, the NetBackup primary server needs credentials at least for vCenter 2.
Only plug-in version 10.0 supported for NetBackup version 10.0 and later.
Note:
Earlier version of the plug-in does not support NetBackup version 10.0 onwards.
If you have NetBackup version prior to 10.0, continue to use earlier version of the plug-in. Or uninstall earlier version of the plugin. For uninstalling, See Uninstalling the NetBackup Local plug-in for vSphere Client (HTML5).
