"Check URL and try again." when upgrading VCSA 6.x through the VAMI

Products

• VMware vCenter Server

Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:

• Upgrading from VCSA 6.0 Update 1 fails with the error:
  
  "Check URL and try again."

• While updating the URL, you see the error:
  
  “Failed to set update repo info: Internal Error”

• The endpoint to download repository tries to use HTTPS.
• The vCenter Server Appliance Management Web interface allows you to configure only the HTTP proxy server

Environment

VMware vCenter Server Appliance 6.0.x
VMware vCenter Server Appliance 6.5.x

Cause

This issue occurs because the VAMI UI does not support HTTPS in vCenter Server 6.0 Update 1 and later. Earlier versions of vCenter Server 6.x had supported HTTP and HTTPS proxy configurations.

Resolution

This is a known issue affecting vCenter Server 6.x.

 

Currently, there is no resolution or workaround.
