What is new in vCenter Plugin 0.9.2?

 

Following caveats were resolved in 0.9(2) release

    CSCue57514 - ESX servers are shown as non-ESX servers in vcenter plugin
    CSCue78623 - Download fails when using HTTPS server for hosting plugin

Now administrators need not download and host the plugin on a HTTP/HTTPS server if the Cisco Developer Network (CDN) site is reachable from their machine running vSphere Web Client. User can choose to register the plugin available in CDN and the vSphere Web Client will download it directly from CDN.

Lot of enhancements has been done in the plugin registration tool to make it user friendly and avoid errors during registration.
