Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:
  • The Task Console of the vSphere Web Client contains reports for failed Deploy plug-in tasks. The stated reason is: "This is a vSphere Web Client (Flash) only plugin indicated by the missing type=\"html\" plugin manifest attribute."
     


Environment

VMware vCenter Server 6.7.x
VMware vCenter Server Appliance 6.7.x

Cause

vSphere 6.7U2 added a feature to report deployment failures for plug-ins in the vSphere Client (HTML5). Deployment failures are indicated by the completion/failure status of deployment tasks. Both the vSphere Client and the Flash-based vSphere Web Client display the status of all vCenter Server tasks. The status reports for plug-in deployment tasks are meaningful only for vSphere Client (HTML5); they do not indicate deployment failures of plug-ins on the vSphere Web Client (Flash).

Resolution

Ignore the Deploy plug-in errors. They do not represent a failure of any kind within the vSphere Web Client (Flash).
