This error occurs when two VIBs use the same vSphere Update Manager (VUM) identifier or bulletin ID (type, name, vendor, version) with different attributes or payload. In specific releases of the Cisco Nexus 1000V for ESXi 5.0 and 5.1 hosts, the Cisco VSM packages an online bundle and an offline bundle with the same bulletin ID and slightly different payload. These Cisco releases include:
- 4.2(1)SV2(1.1)
- 4.2(1)SV2(1.1a)
- 4.2(1)SV2(2.1)
- 4.2(1)SV2(2.1a)
The error can occur under two conditions:
- The host connects simultaneously to the VMware patch portal with the offline bundle and the Cisco VSM with the online bundle. VMware has corrected this condition by updating the Cisco Nexus 1000V bundle available from the VMware patch portal.
- The Cisco VSM automatically pushes the online bundle to VUM, and an administrator also imports the offline bundle into VUM.
Note: This error does not impact hosts running ESXi 5.5 or 4.1.
