To uninstall a NAS plug-in, remove the VIB package from your host.

This topic discusses how to uninstall a VIB package using the esxcli command. For more details, see the vSphere Upgrade documentation.

In the procedure, --server=server_name specifies the target server. The specified target server prompts you for a user name and password. Other connection options, such as a configuration file or session file, are supported. For a list of connection options, see Getting Started with vSphere Command-Line Interfaces.

Prerequisites

Install vCLI or deploy the vSphere Management Assistant (vMA) virtual machine. See Getting Started with vSphere Command-Line Interfaces. For troubleshooting, run esxcli commands in the ESXi Shell.

Procedure

  1. Uninstall the plug-in:
    esxcli --server=server_name software vib remove -n|--vibname=name
    The name is the name of the VIB package to remove.
  2. Verify that the plug-in is removed:
    esxcli --server=server_name software vib list
  3. Reboot your host for the change to take effect.
