[...]
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: [ERROR] An error occurred while executing the following action: 'updatePlugin'

This is because your vCenter Server has no valid certificate from a trusted authority.

To fix this issue the user can manually update the thumbprint in the DSM GUI following these steps:

1. Login to DSM UI with a user who has the DSM_ADMIN role . Navigate to settings tab. Edit the target vCenter and update the thumbprint with current thumbprint of the vc and save 
2. Logout from the VC and log in to the VC should attempt to update the plugin.
