Hey everyone,
I have been combing the Internet trying so many things.. many of them coming from this very forum. I've had no luck, so I come to you all for ideas!
I am running the vCenter Server Appliance, recently upgraded from 5.5.1 to 6.0.
After the upgrade, I've deployed the vSphere Data Protection 6.0 Appliance (via OVF).
I run through the configuration, allocate storage, it registers with vCenter... no errors whatsoever.
*however* no matter WHAT I do, VDP does NOT show up in the vSphere Web Client. I've seen from screenshots that it should be there, right by the vRealize Orchestrator link on the left, but it just isn't there.
I've been through every log file on the VCSA (that I know of) looking for any errors or any mention of VDP, and there is nothing that indicates anything is wrong.
-I've deployed the VDP appliance again to no avail
-tried 3 different browsers, both regular and "private" modes
-logging in as the vsphere.local\Administrator as well as my own administrator account
-removed the plugins via the MOB and let them re-register
-run the registration to vCenter wizard in the VDP appliance config page soooo many times, with various users
I am just at a total loss here. I mean, it looks like *everything* is working exactly how it's supposed to, no problems at all, except... the link in the web client just isn't there.
I really hope I'm just being dumb and there's something super simple I'm missing... anyone have any ideas to throw my way? Thanks!
