Aria Operations Cluster version and upgrade PAK version do not match

Products

• VCF Operations/Automation (formerly VMware Aria Suite)

Issue/Introduction

In the Administrator interface (https://<operationsfqdn>/admin/) under the Software Update tab, the Version build number is different than what shows up under System Status under the versions for the nodes.

For example: 8.18.3.24663033 shows in the System Status tab for the nodes while 8.18.3.24663027 shows for the Version of the last software update which was installed under the Software Update tab.

Environment

Aria Operations 8.18.x

Cause

The build number can vary from the PAK to different components built and packaged in the PAK file.

Resolution

This is expected behavior.
