Rescheduling VC Major/Migration-Based via UI is Unsupported

Products

• VMware Cloud Foundation 5.x

Issue/Introduction

• When attempting to reschedule a VC Major/Migration-based upgrade (7.x to 8.x) through the UI, the interface does not prompt for network information. Instead, it initiates the upgrade process, leading to a backend failure due to missing input specifications.
• Error in /var/log/vmware/vcf/lcm/lcm.log
