Unregistering the vCenter Plug-in

You can unregister the NetApp Element Plug-in for vCenter Server using one of the procedures described for your installation. Unregistering the plug-in has the same effect as disabling it but does not remove all associated files and folders.

1. To unregister the plug-in, follow the procedure for your installed version:
   • Version 3.0 or later:
     • Unregister the plug-in using the vCenter Plug-in registration utility:
       1. Enter the IP address for your management node in a browser, including the TCP port for registration: https://[management node IP]:9443.
       2. Click or navigate to Unregister Plug-in.
       3. Enter the following:
          1. The IP address or FQDN server name of the vCenter service on which you have registered your plug-in.
          2. The vCenter Administrator user name.
          3. The vCenter Administrator password.
       4. Click Unregister.

   • For versions earlier than 3.0 to 2.7 :
     • Use the vCenter Managed Object Browser (MOB) interface in your browser to manually unregister.
       1. Enter the MOB URL: https://[vcenter]/mob
       2. Click Content > Extension Manager > UnregisterExtension.
       3. Enter com.solidfire.
       4. Click Invoke Method.
     • Unregister using PowerCLI:

       Connect-VIServer -Server $vcenter -User administrator@vsphere.local
       -Password xxxxXXx -Force -ErrorAction Stop -SaveCredentials
       $em = Get-View ExtensionManager
       $em.ExtensionList | ft -property Key
       $em.UnregisterExtension("com.solidfire")
       $em.UpdateViewData()
       $em.ExtensionList | ft -property Key
       Disconnect-VIServer * -Confirm:$false

   • Version 2.6.1 or earlier:
     1. In a browser, enter the URL for the registration utility or locate it in the program directory:
        • https://<FDVA or management node IP>:8443
