Environment

VMware NSX-T Data Center

Cause

The root cause has been confirmed due to be attributed to the addition of new types to an existing file in the DB.

Since the types were added to the existing file, the new changes are not captured and since one of those types happens to be the key, the upgrade fails.

Resolution

Currently there is no resolution to this issue
