Environment

vSphere 8.0 U2

vSphere Supervisor

Cause

vSphere-wcp solution missing in the offline depot

Resolution

Upload wcp-depot.zip to VUM server using lifecycle manager UI

Once upload is completed verify if the depot is created in the VUM server using the API (SSH into VC and run below dcli commands)
Offline depot without any owner metadata is the newly uploaded depot. Verify it’s content with the depot content API.

Set Spherelet Solution

Verify there is no Spherelet solution set for the cluster.
dcli +show-unreleased com vmware esx settings clusters software solutions list --cluster <cluster_moid>

Set the Spherelet solution on the cluster. (Can monitor the status of the set solution from the UI also)

# dcli +show-unreleased com vmware esx settings clusters software solutions set-task --cluster <cluster_moid> --components '[{"component":"VMware-Spherelet-1-27"}]' --solution "com.vmware.vsphere-wcp" --version "8.0.2-23504390"

Cluster compliance should now run successfully.
