The schedule upgrade for 4.2.0.0 Config Drift bundle on SDDC Manager UI fails

Products

• VMware Cloud Foundation

Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:

• Schedule upgrade for 4.2.0.0 Config Drift bundle on SDDC Manager UI fails.
• The schedule upgrade button is grayed out after selecting target VCF release 4.2.0.0.
  
  

Environment

VMware Cloud Foundation 4.2

Cause

This issue occurs as SDDC Manager UI only enables the schedule upgrade button on a Config Drift bundle if it is the only bundle applicable for the target release. However in some scenarios, some other bundle (VMware Software or VxRail) may also be applicable for the target release. In those scenarios, the schedule upgrade button on a Config Drift bundle is grayed out, which is blocking users to apply the bundle on UI.

The 4.2 Config Drift bundle will be grayed out when all following 3 conditions are met:

• 4.2 SDDC Manager bundle is applied
• 4.2 Config Drift bundle is not applied
• Some VMW or VxRail bundle is applicable

Note:

• Online user are likely to see this issue, offline users can avoid this issue by uploading only required VMware or VxRail bundles to LCM.

Resolution

This is a known issue affecting VMware Cloud Foundation 4.2.0.0.

Currently, there is no resolution.

Workaround:
To work around this issue, follow either one of the workarounds:

Option #1 

Schedule the upgrade of the 4.2 Config Drift bundle through the curl command:

1. SSH to SDDC Manager VM as the vcf user.
2. Get VCF public API token.

   Request:
   
   curl -k localhost/v1/tokens -X POST -H "Content-type:application/json" -d '{
      "username":"Admin / SSO username",
      "password":"Admin / SSO password!"

2. Schedule upgrade for the 4.2 Config Drift bundle.
   
   For example:
   
   Call API: POST /v1/upgrades
   
   Enter request json:
   
   {
     "bundleId": "e53edad7-26df-4282-8874-d1724e63ac5b",
     "resourceType": "DOMAIN",
