Issue/Introduction

Upgrade to Aria Operations 8.16 and above fails in the early stages.

Environment

Aria Operations 8.16.x and later

Cause

VMware Aria Operations 8.14 is the final release that supports Remote Collectors (Lite Cloud Proxy). Starting with version 8.16, upgrades will be blocked if any Remote Collectors are in use. To proceed with an upgrade to 8.16 or later, all Remote Collectors must be replaced with Cloud Proxies.

Resolution

Kindly follow the procedure in 'Broadcom KB: 368898' to Replace Remote Collector or Redeploy Cloud Proxy.
Note: If you're using a collector group, make sure to add the newly deployed cloud proxies to that group. and remove the existing Remote Collectors.
