Problem

The Pure Storage icon is not showing up in the vCenter Web Client. This can be caused the JDK not being properly installed on the VMware vCenter server.  We can verify whether the JDK is installed correctly, and which Java version is being used by the Pure Plugin in the VMware vSphere Web Client main log file (vsphere_client_virgo.log).

Impact

An incorrect installation and configuration of the JDK will cause issues with the Pure Plugin.  

Solution

The Java version can be found in the vshere_client_virgo.log, and will only show up in the log when the vSphere web client is restarted.

In this example, the JDK 1.7u17 is installed on the Windows Server 2008 R2 for vCenter Server 5.1.
