After installing the new Performance Overview plugin for vCenter 2.5u4. There might be a change that the following “error” appears when you start the plugin.
But, VMware did a great job and published this workaround:
Workaround: If VirtualCenter is upgraded when the VMware Infrastructure Web Access Service is running, you need to reinstall the Virtual Infrastructure Web Access feature and re-install the Performance Overview plug-in:
- In the Add or Remove Programs utility, change the VMware VirtualCenter Server program.
- Modify the VirtualCenter Server installation, and remove the Virtual Infrastructure Web Access feature.

- Run install.bat <VirtualCenter_Username> <VirtualCenter_Password>
- Connect the VI Client to the VirtualCenter Server, and enable the Performance Overview plug-in:
- In the VirtualCenter Server, click Plugins > Manage Plugins.
- In the Installed tab of the Plugin Manager window, for com.vmware.vim.stats.report select Enabled.
