I'm having trouble understanding why my plugin installation reports a different status now and then. After installing the .dar via the ui, and restarting the service, I see plugins listed variously as:
1) Installation OK
2) No installation required
3) Will perform installation at next server startup.
So, I'm trying to understand these states in light of the plugin installation process outlined in the "Developing Plug-Ins with VMware vCenter Orchestrator" doc. It describes the process as:
1) upload the dar via the plugins tab
2) Click "Apply Changes" -- "configuration server may restart" WHY?
3) Configure plugin, and "Apply Changes"
4) Bounce the vco service ( not the configuration server )
What leads to these different states?
What is "installation" and why is it sometimes needed and sometimes not?
