Third-Party Plugins are not visible on all vRO nodes after we disable & enable from ControlCenter
Came across a problem where the plugin was not visible on all the nodes part of embedded vRO cluster, version 7.6
This issue is seen usually on third-party plugins and not on out of the box plugins.
When the user disables a plugin from vRO's control-center and then enables it back,
though it's enabled on control-center, inside appliance it's still marked as disabled
Log Snippet showing that it's marking a plugin as disabled as per its configuration

Configuration of this plugin is stored under/var/lib/vco/app-server/conf/plugins/_VSOPluginState.xml
When you edit this file you would see
got to change this line to
Then perform a restart of service vCO
service vco-server stop && service vco-server start
Once services are up you should be able to see plugin available on all three nodes
This looks like a bug.
