Remove a Plug-In
You can disable an Orchestrator plug-in from the Plug-ins tab, but this action does not remove the plug-in file
from the Orchestrator server file system. To remove the plug-in file, you must log in to the machine on which
the Orchestrator server is installed and remove the plug-in file manually.
Prerequisites
Log in to the machine on which the Orchestrator server is installed.
Procedure
1 Navigate to the Orchestrator installation folder on the Orchestrator server system.
Option Action
If you installed Orchestrator with the
vCenter Server installer
Go to
install_directory
\VMware\Infrastructure\Orchestrator\app-
server\server\vmo\plugins.
If you installed the standalone
version of Orchestrator
Go to
install_directory
\VMware\Orchestrator\app-
server\server\vmo\plugins.
2 Delete the .dar archive that contains the plug-in to remove.
3 Restart the Orchestrator Configuration service.
The plug-in is removed from the Orchestrator configuration interface.
4 Log in to the Orchestrator client.
5 In the Orchestrator client, click the Packages view.
6 Right-click the package to delete and select Delete element with content.
NOTE Orchestrator elements that are locked in the read-only state, for example workflows in the standard
library, are not deleted.
You removed all custom workflows and actions, policies, Web views, configurations, settings, and resources
that the plug-in contains.
