Redeploying product fails with "no such file or directory" at "Creating and uploading releases"

Products

• VMware Tanzu Application Service for VMs

Issue/Introduction

It may happen that when redeploying a product with bosh you encounter the following error.
 

$ bosh -d cf-fd47824a0a30f8ba7858 deploy cf-fd47824a0a30f8ba7858
Using environment '172.31.100.101' as client 'ops_manager'
Using deployment 'cf-fd47824a0a30f8ba7858'
Creating and uploading releases:
 - Uploading release 'cf-cli/1.38.0':
      stat /var/tempest/releases/cf-cli-1.38.0-ubuntu-xenial-621.261.tgz: no such file or directory

Environment

Product Version: 2.12

Resolution

This happens when running the BOSH deploy command from a VM that is not Ops Manager. That is the reason behind not finding the releases under /var/tempest/releases.

Running the deploy command from Ops Manager VM should solve the problem.
