The VUM plug-in is now installed into this instance of the vSphere Client. Remember that
the VUM plug-in is per instance of the vSphere Client, so you need to repeat this process on
each installation of the vSphere Client. If you have the vSphere Client installed on your desktop
workstation and your laptop, you'll need to install the plug-in on both systems as well. After
that is done, you are ready to coni gure VUM for your environment.

h e plug-in for the vSphere Web Client is integrated automatically during a VUM 5.5 installation.
Users need only log out and back into the Web Client to see the new VUM details.
