Version 2 Video Demo:
*****Purity 4.7+ requires TLS 1.1 and 1.2 support, only vCenter 6.0 U2+ and vCenter 6.5+ support this by default. For Windows-based vCenters, TLS can be upgraded, but for vCenter Linux Appliance (VCSA) it is not supported by VMware to do so. For VCSA users, please upgrade to vCenter 6.0U2 or later if you are running Purity 4.7+ and you want to use the plugin.*****
