After successfully installing the plugin, it is not visible in vCenter.
In the virgo log, you should see this after a successful plugin installation:
[2020-01-27T20:54:38.869Z] [INFO ] vc-extensionmanager-pool-70 com.vmware.vise.vim.extension.PluginStatusTaskManager DEPLOYED: Deployed plugin package com.purestorage.purestoragehtml:4.2.0 successfully.
If you see the above log line, after 15 minutes or less the Everpure link should show up in the main Menu in vCenter:
If the Everpure link does not show up after waiting for the vCenter to fully deploy the plugin, there might be a need to restart the vsphere-ui service on the vCenter or, in extremely rare circumstances, the entire vCenter. To validate the need for this, first ensure that the MOB recognizes the plugin as installed. Go to https://vCenterURL/mob and log in with the normal vCenter credentials.

Finally, we can validate that we have successfully installed the HTML Plugin on this page if you see this entry. If you click on extensionList["com.purestorage.purestoragehtml"] it will show you the version of the plugin that was installed (in our case, 4.3.1):
Resolution:
If you see the expected verison in the MOB and the Everpure link is not showing up in the vCenter menu, you will likely need to restart the vsphere-ui service on the vCenter by running the command service-control --restart vsphere-ui on the vCenter's CLI. Although this service restart should not be disruptive, it should be checked with VMware support.
If restarting the vsphere-ui service doesn't resolve the issue, on rare occasions, the entire vCenter has needed to be restarted. This recommendation should come from VMware support.
