PATCH_OS_TYPE: "v2" is not supported; supported type is v1
error code - 30 

Environment

Cause

The error ,"V2" is not supported: supported type is v1, indicates that you are attempting to apply a patch or upgrade that does not support the current Operating System. 

You can check your OS version with various linux commands, such as hostnamectl or cat /etc/os-release:

Resolution

 

Prior to applying any patch or upgrade VAPP 14.4 must be running on Centos8.  Follow the directions to migrate to Centos8 as described here:

14.4 - Migrating Virtual Appliance

Once at Centos8 the Upgrades can be applied. 

 

Please note, once at Vapp version 14.5 you should promptly migrate from Centos8 to Centos9 as Centos8 is no longer supported and there will be no more security fixes provided for that OS version. 

Directions to migrate are the same as for 14.4 and can be found here:
