Resolution

IMPORTANT:

Following the VMware by Broadcom Day 2 transition on May 6, 2024, Customer Connect has been migrated to the Broadcom Support. This migration impacts the VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle as follows:

  • All Product Support Packs, along with product and patch binaries, will now need to be downloaded from the Broadcom Support Portal

  • Users must then manually map these into the VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle

  • Additionally, all online download methods previously available in the VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle will be disabled in the user interface upon upgrading to our next release.

It is recommended to install vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager 8.0.1 Patch 1 before vRealize Automation 8.0.1 P5. The vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager 8.0.1 Patch 1 contains a fix for some intermittent delays in submitting the patch request.


The steps to install vRealize Automation 8.0.1 P5 using vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager are as follows:

  1. Login to the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager UI.
  2. Navigate to Lifecycle Operations > Settings > System Details. Verify you have at least 20GB of Free Space.
    • If not enough space, select Extend Storage and increase Disk Space so that Free Space available is 20GB.

Note: The value provided in the wizard is the total new disk size.

  1. Once Extend Storage request is completed. Navigate to Settings > Binary Mappings
  2. Click Product Patch Binaries and follow the steps.
  3. (When Offline) To upload patches, click Upload Patches and select the patch file and click Import.
  4. Trigger the patch installation for vRealize Automation from the product details within the Environments page using the product actions, click Patches > Install Patch.
  5. Select the patch from the list of downloaded patches.
Note: The patches must be downloaded from the Product Binaries page. Only the downloaded patches are listed here.
  1. Click Next.
  2. Verify vRealize Automation storage requirements and select the check box "I have taken care of the above storage requirement and am ready to proceed"
  3. Click Next.
  4. Review and Install the available patch and click Finish.
  5. The patch install request progress can be tracked under Requests.
  6. To view the history of patches from Environments, click Patches > History

Impact/Risks:
Note: Version 8.0.1 Patch 5 is the last patch that VMware plans to deliver for vRealize Automation 8.0.1. To continue to receive feature updates and resolved issues, it is recommended that you upgrade to the latest version of 8.x. The process to upgrade to the latest version is similar in time and effort to installing the patch.
