The 2.0 plugin is unsupported when the NetVault Language is set to Simplified Chinese or Korean. The language must be set to English, French, German or Japanese. Do this by modifying the 'Language Selection' on the General tab of nvconfigurator. All GUI windows must be closed and re-opened for this setting to take effect. The NetVault services do not need to be restarted.
This problem will be fixed in a future release.
