SDDC Manager bundle pre-check failure when upgrading to VCF 5.1 and above.

Products

• VMware Cloud Foundation

Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:
VCF 5.0 (online /offline customers) - Sddc Manager Pre-check "Upgrade Bundle Download Status" fails with error "Could not find bundle for SDDC_MANAGER upgrade to version 5.1.0.0-<build_number>".

Environment

VMware Cloud Foundation 5.1
VMware Cloud Foundation 5.0.0.1

Cause

From VCF 5.1 onwards we are deprecating the Config Drift bundle, however, the previously released VCF versions (4.3 - 5.0) expects that a config drift bundle will be applied as part of a target release and hence indicates this as a pre-check failure.

Resolution

Once the SDDC Manager is upgraded to 5.0.0.1 or 5.1+, the config drift pre-check will not be executed for target versions 5.1+

Workaround:
This pre-check failure can be ignored for VCF 5.1+ and it is safe to proceed with the upgrade despite this bundle pre-check failure.
