Resolution

This is a known issue affecting VMware Cloud Foundation.

Currently, there is no resolution.

 

To work around this issue, update the NSX Manager version manually:

1. Log in to the SDDC Manager virtual machine (VRM) as the root user through SSH or console.
2. Run this command to determine the ID of the Workload Domain where the NSX Manager resides:
   
   curl -i -X GET http://localhost:8080/vrm-ui/api/1.0/vrm/logical-inventory/domains/
   
   Note: You see output similar to:
   
   [{"type":"IaaS","domainId":"e455705b-8d8e-4889-b4d5-2facb26bf321","domainName":"Domain2"},{"type":"MANAGEMENT","domainId":"c6925a57-3210-306e-a416-98b82effdf24","domainName":"Management-gss-vrack1"},{"type":"IaaS","domainId":"ff3f197f-3864-4eda-8083-bffc2acb3ba4","domainName":"SG-Test"}]
   
   Note: In this example, the Workload Domain is Domain2 and its ID is e455705b-8d8e-4889-b4d5-2facb26bf321.
    
3. Edit the /tmp/payload.json file, using a text editor.
   
   Example output:
   
   {
   "id": "e455705b-8d8e-4889-b4d5-2facb26bf321",
   "type": "NSX_MANAGER",
   "value": "6.2.4-4292526"
   }
   
   Note: Ensure that the id value is the one obtained in Step 2 and that the value is the correct version and build number for the NSX Manager in question.
    
4. Run this command to update the NSX Manager version:
   
   curl -i -w "\n" http://localhost:8080/vrm-ui/api/1.0/vrm/logical-inventory/action/entity/version -X POST -d @/tmp/payload.json --header "Content-Type: application/json"
