Simplivity Plugin for vCenter - Issue with install

[jdheltne]

I am trying to install Simplivity 4.1.0 plugin, into my vCenter, which is 6.7 U3l, per the interoperability guide, it should work, but when I try to install it I get access denied.  The process I followed was:

• Upload the file HPE-SimpliVity-Plug-in-for-vSphere-Client-linux-x64-4.1.0.527.run to the VCSA under the /tmp folder via WinSCP
• Putty into the VCSA as root, run the command shell
• cd to /tmp, chmod -x HPE-SimpliVity-Plug-in-for-vSphere-Client-linux-x64-4.1.0.527.run to enable execution
• run ./HPE-SimpliVity-Plug-in-for-vSphere-Client-linux-x64-4.1.0.527.run and when I  try to install I get permission denied
• Is there something I missed or am doing wrong?

thanks,

Can you try to

cd /tmp

chmod +x HPE-SimpliVity-Plug-in-for-vSphere-Client-linux-x64-4.1.0.527.run

./HPE-SimpliVity-Plug-in-for-vSphere-Client-linux-x64-4.1.0.527.run

That worked, however now Im geting an error after I add the email saying:

Warning: Failed to connect to the vCenter server.

I KNOW for a fact the vCenter root password I entered does absolutely work.
