Products

• VMware SDDC Manager
• VMware Cloud Foundation 5.x

Issue/Introduction

• NSX-T Upgrade from SDDC manager sitting in 'PENDING' state after successfully completing the 'NSX_UPGRADE_STAGE_CLUSTER_PRECHECK'.
• NSX shows PENDING Upgrade to version 4.2 in the UI below:  

Environment

VMware Cloud Foundation 5.2

Cause

By design, the NSX upgrade process requires scheduling and selecting "Upgrade now" for it to proceed.

Resolution

• A pending task appears when you run the precheck. However, even after the precheck succeeds, you still need to schedule the upgrade.
• To proceed with the NSX upgrade, manually schedule it and explicitly select "Update Now."
• Click 'schedule Update'.

• On the next screen select 'Upgrade Now'.
