Tanzu Operations Manager upgrade pipeline is failing at disk resizing task in concourse

Products

• Concourse for VMware Tanzu

Issue/Introduction

One can use concourse pipeline to upgrade Operations Manager. In pipeline, we use "Platform-Automation-Toolkit" to create upgrade tasks. Refer https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-tanzu/platform/platform-automation-toolkit-for-tanzu/5-2/vmware-automation-toolkit/docs-index.html for more details.

While using Platform-Automation-Toolkit version 5.2.0 in pipeline, we got below error while resizing/reassigning the disk to Operations Manager VM.

Executing: "govc vm.disk.change -vm.ipath=/sandbox-OpsManager -size=180G"
govc[stderr]: govc: error resizing main disk
govc[stderr]: Logged Item: Invalid operation for device '0'

Environment

Operations Manager 3.x

Platform-Automation-Toolkit version 5.2.0

Cause

Pipeline was hitting below error due to govc CLI known issue https://github.com/vmware/govmomi/issues/3441

Executing: "govc vm.disk.change -vm.ipath=/sandbox-OpsManager -size=180G"
govc[stderr]: govc: error resizing main disk
govc[stderr]: Logged Item: Invalid operation for device '0'

 

Resolution

Issue is fixed in govc CLI version 0.39.x.

This govc CLI version is included in "Platform Automation Toolkit for Tanzu" version 5.2.1 or later.

https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-tanzu/platform/platform-automation-toolkit-for-tanzu/5-2/vmware-automation-toolkit/docs-release-notes.html#:~:text=env%20var%20prefix-,v5.2.1,-July%2026%2C%202024

So one has to update the pipeline to use Platform Automation Toolkit version 5.2.1 or later.
