DESCRIPTION
Use the vwcp_manage command to install or uninstall the NetBackup plug-in for VMware vSphere Web Client.
You can also use this command to uninstall the NetBackup plug-in that was registered before NetBackup 10.0.
Note:
On a NetBackup 8.1 or later master server, you can enter vwcp_manage without options to launch the plug-in installation screens. On the NetBackup appliance, you must log on to the appliance as a NetBackupCLI user. Then you enter vwcp_manage with its options, to specify the action, vCenter server, and so forth (see ).
For further information on installing the plug-in, see the NetBackup Plug-in for VMware vSphere Web Client Guide.
OPTIONS
- --acceptVCenterCertificates
- Use this option if you want to accept all the certificates that NetBackup receives from the vCenter server. - If you have enabled the VIRTUALIZATION_HOSTS_SECURE_CONNECT_ENABLED configuration option and have specified either --acceptVCenterCertificates or --thumbprints option, the vCenter server certificate validation takes place using the command-line interface. - If you have enabled the VIRTUALIZATION_HOSTS_SECURE_CONNECT_ENABLED configuration option, but have not specified either --acceptVCenterCertificates or --thumbprints option, the NetBackup plug-in for vSphere Client console is launched. You can use this console for vCenter server certificate validation. 
- -h, --help
- Displays the help message. 
- -o port --port=port
- The vCenter port. The default is 443. 
- -p passfile passfile=passfile
- The passfile is the path to a text file that contains only the vCenter password. - The password file should not have world readable or writable permissions. After the operation is completed, for security reasons you should delete the password file. 
- --register
- Registers and installs the plug-in. 
- -t thumbprint --thumbprints=thumbprint
- Specify the thumbprint of the vCenter server certificate. For multiple certificates, separate each certificate with a comma. For example: -t "84:C0:35:1D:14:B5:6D:9B:01:85:A9:16:DA:32:8C:AA:0D:82:F4:77, 37:3F:B2:D3:0E:04:64:DC:D8:6B:B4:77:FF:BB:DE:E5:D1:43:C5:43" - If the specified thumbprint matches the vCenter server certificate thumbprint, the associated certificate is used for host communication. - If you have enabled the VIRTUALIZATION_HOSTS_SECURE_CONNECT_ENABLED configuration option and have used either --acceptVCenterCertificates or --thumbprints option, the vCenter server certificate validation takes place using the command-line interface. - If you have enabled the VIRTUALIZATION_HOSTS_SECURE_CONNECT_ENABLED configuration option, but have not specified --acceptVCenterCertificates and --thumbprints options, the NetBackup plug-in for vSphere Client console is launched. You can use this console for vCenter server certificate validation. - Be aware that vCenter server 6.7 supports SHA1 encryption while vCenter server 7.0 supports both SHA1 and SHA256 encryption. 
- -u username, --username=username
- The vCenter user name. 
- --unregister
- Unregisters and uninstalls the plug-in. 
- -unregisterlocal
- Unregisters and uninstalls the plug-in, which was registered before NetBackup 10.0. 
- --upgrade
- Use this option to upgrade the plug-in. 
- -v vCenter_server, --vcenter=vCenter_server
- The vCenter server where the plug-in is to be installed. 
- --validate
- Verifies the connection to the vCenter server and validates the vCenter credentials.

Example 2: Uninstall the NetBackup vSphere Web Client plug-in from a vCenter server.
vwcp_manage --unregister - v vcenter.example.com - u admin_01 - p /home/nbusers/passfile.txt
Example 3: Uninstall the NetBackup vSphere Web Client plug-in from a vCenter server that was registered before NetBackup 10.0.
