Environment

VMware Cloud Foundation 4.x

Cause

This is known issue on 4x due to migration 3x to 4x, during migration config drift set two features in /home/vcf/ but never set it back. This will cause the 4.x to 5.x bundle to not display accurately, if the /home/vcf/feature.properties file line ---- 'feature.lcm.store.target.version' is still false.

Resolution

Removing these two lines from the feature.properties file. 

1. SSH to SDDC Manager using vcf account and su to root
2. Edit the file /home/vcf/feature.properties file and update the these two lines (or comment them out):
   • feature.lcm.store.target.version=true
   • feature.vcf.isolated.wlds=true
3. Restart all of the SDDC Manager services:
   • /opt/vmware/vcf/operationsmanager/scripts/cli/sddcmanager_restart_services.sh
4. Login to the SDDC UI and verify the Updates interface has changed. 

Example of expected 5.x Updates interface,
