Deploy Dell PowerFlex v3.6.x

Register the PowerFlex plug-in manually

This topic describes an advanced way to use PowerCLI to register the vSphere PowerFlex plug-in on a vCenter.

1. You can upload the ZIP file to an HTTP or an HTTPS server.
   If you are uploading the ZIP file to an HTTP server, perform the following:
   1. On the computer where the vSphere Web client is installed, locate the webclient.properties file.

      vCenter	Operating system	Path to file
      6.x	Windows	C:\ProgramData\VMware\vCenterServer\cfg\vsphere-client
      	Linux	/etc/vmware/vsphere-client/

   2. Add the following line to the file:
      allowHttp=true
   3. Restart the VMware vSphere Web Client service.
2. Using PowerCLI for VMware, and set to Run as administrator, run Set-ExecutionPolicy AllSigned.
3. Close PowerCLI, and reopen it, set as Run as administrator.
4. Extract EMC-ScaleIO-vSphere-plugin-installer-3.6-X.<build>.zip
5. Upload EMC-ScaleIO-vSphere-web-plugin-3.6-X.<build>.zip to the HTTP/HTTPS server.
6. From PowerCLI, run the following script: VxFlexOSPluginSetup-3.6-X.<build>.ps1
   1. Enter the vCenter name or IP address, user name, and password.
   2. For Select Mode, choose option 1, Register VxFlex OS plug-in.
   3. For Select Registration Mode, choose Advanced.
   4. Enter the full URL of the plug-in ZIP file.
      If the ZIP file is located on a PowerFlex Gateway, enter the following URL: https://<VxFlex_OS_GATEWAY_IP_ADDRESS>.

      If you are using a web server, enter the web server's complete URL of the PowerFlex plug-in ZIP file (see the example in Step 7).

   5. If necessary, accept the thumbprint.
7. Log out, and log back in to the vSphere web client.

   Example for HTTP server:

   .\registerVxFlexOSPlugin.ps1 -vcenter 10.103.109.16
       -userUrl "http://10.76.60.14/sample/ScaleIO-vSphere-web-plugin-1.30.0.160.zip"

   Example for HTTPS server:

   .\registerVxFlexOSPlugin.ps1 -vcenter 10.103.109.16

   -userUrl
   "https://10.76.61.139/sample/ScaleIO-vSphere-web-plugin-1.30.0.160.zip"
   -thumbprint CA:66:49:D0:CE:D9:8C:A0:D0:93:E3:83:DE:59:25:5F:79:E1:53:B6
   -adminEmail test.email@emc.com 

   The script registers the plug-in and the following message appears:

   Registering VxFlexOS extension...

   The extension was registered successfully
