Aria Suite Lifecycle upgrade fails with error No Upgrade Available when using the Repository URL type

Products

• VMware Aria Suite

Issue/Introduction

• When upgrading Aria Suite Lifecycle from 8.12 and above you see error "No Upgrade Available" when using the "Repository Type: URL".

Environment

• Aria Suite Lifecycle 8.12 and above.

Cause

• This is due to the Repository Type URL (internal web server) hosting the upgrade files has a certificate that is not trusted by the ASL appliance.
• This can also be related to the URL.

  • CAP downloads the manifest file from the provided custom_urls settings, which should be pointing to the base directory where the manifest directory containing manifest XML is present.

Resolution

For certificate issue:

 

Prerequisites:

• You have a valid backup or temporary snapshot of the Aria Suite Lifecycle appliance.

Procedure:

1. Download and copy the certificate to the appliance's trust store located at:

   /etc/ssl/certs

2. Run the following command:

   /usr/bin/rehash_ca_certificates.sh

3. Run the following command to clear the failed upgrade:

   rm /etc/vmware/cap/cap_am/update_status.json

4. Log back into Aria Suite Lifecycle and retry upgrade.

 

 

For issues with the Repository URL:

• Verify the path of the URL points to where the Manifest directory is located.
