Issue/Introduction

  • Unable to get VxRail bundle 8.0.100-28093095 recommended for upgrade. Bundle availability status shows as Future in the Bundle Management tab.
  • Removing VxRail bundle 8.0.100-28093095 using bundle cleanup utility (bundle_cleanup.py) and re-adding to SDDC doesn't fix the issue.
  • versionalias.yml has valid base & alias versions for ESX_HOST and partnerBundleMetadata.json is showing correct information about the upgrade VxRrail bundle.
  • Error in /var/log/vmware/vcf/lcm/lcm.log
