Important: When registering the MSA with an on-premises vCenter, before proceeding to the next step, open a command window on the MSA and execute the script /opt/fio/vme2/python/manage_iofrest_user.ps1. This ensures a clean installation in vCenter if JetStream DR had ever been previously installed. It is advisable to perform this step no matter the history of the vCenter.

    1. Refresh the plug-in in the vSphere client.
      • Log back in to access the JetStream DR plug-in.

Important: To properly access the JetStream DR plug-in after registering it, you must refresh the vSphere Client and then log back in again. Otherwise, the JetStream DR plug-in may not display correctly. This action will not be necessary for subsequent logins.


    1. Navigate to the datacenter where the MSA was installed.
      • Click the Configure tab.
      • The JetStream DR user interface should now appear.
