Troubleshooting Extensions
In cases were vCenter Server extensions are not working, you have several options to correct the problem.
vCenter Server extensions running on the tomcat server have extension.xml files which contain the URL where
the corresponding Web application can be accessesed (files are located in C:\Program
Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VirtualCenter Server\extensions). Extension installers populate these XML
files using the DNS name for the machine.
Example from the stats extension.xml file: <url>https://SPULOV-XP-VM12.vmware.com:
8443/statsreport/vicr.do</url>.
vCenter Server, extension servers, and the vSphere Clients that will use them must be located on systems under
the same domain. If they are not, or the DNS of the extension server is changed, the extension clients will not
be able to access the URL and the extension will not work.
You can edit the XML files manually by replacing the DNS name with an IP address. Re-register the extension
after editing its extension.xml file.
Save vSphere Client Data
The vSphere Client user interface is similar to a browser. Most user manipulations are persistent in vCenter
Server data displayed; therefore, you do not normally need to save the data.
If you need to save vSphere Client data, you can do one of the following:
Procedure
n
Use the Microsoft Windows Print Screen option to print a copy of the vSphere Client window.
n
Select File > Export and select a format in which to save the vCenter Server data. Open the data in an
appropriate application and print from that application.
