1.

Before you can use the script, download the appropriate VI SDK from 
VMware. 

For PowerShell, download vSphere PowerCLI:

For Perl VI SDK, download vSphere SDK for Perl:

2.

After you download and install the SDK and the registration script, follow the 
VMware instructions to register the vCenter Plug-in. 

For example, the Perl unregister command is:

perl registerPlugin.pl --server="127.0.0.1" 
-username="administrator" --password="password" 
--key="com.qlogic.QLogicAdapterVIPlugIn" --action="remove"

3.

Replace the username and password with the correct information to log into 
the vCenter Server. 

To launch the plug-in from vSphere client:

1.

Start the vSphere Client and connect to the vCenter Server. (If you start and 
connect the vSphere Client directly to an ESX or ESXi server, the vCenter 
plug-in does not appear.) 

2.

If you have not already done so, create a data center and add the ESX 
server. 

3.

In the left pane, select the server. 

A row of tabs appear in the right pane. If the server has QLogic Adapter CIM 
Provider and adapters installed, and if the vCenter plug-in installation and 
registration were successful, the QLogic Adapter tab appears in the tab 
row.
