Environment

VMware vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager 8.x
VMware vRealize Automation 8.x

Cause

The issue occurs when the sizes of the vRA nodes' data partition exceeds the maximum range supported by the integer data type (2,147,483,647) resulting in a NumberFormatException  being thrown.

Resolution

You can either shrink the partition below so that pre-checks pass or ignore the pre-check failures and proceed with the upgrade.
