VMware Critical Patch Workaround
Hi Experts,
We have applied the work around to make the affected critical components announced in the latest critical update as incompatible following the article here: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/83829#Disable_vCenter_Server_plugins_on_Linux-based_virtual_appliances
We will be applying the patch very soon. We dont actully use any of the plugins effected, however I understand they are enabled by default?. We have two Vcenters, both 6.5 and have applied the workaround to both without issues. However when I look under Administration - Solution - Client plugins, on one VCenter no plugins are displayed, and on the second only Update manager and VROPS. Is this correct? Has the workaround been applied, or do we actually not have the effected plugin installed in the first place?
Many Thanks,
Paul
