Duplicate Hardware Support Manager (HSM) Messages in VMware Lifecycle Manager (vLCM) Operations

Products

• VMware vCenter Server

Issue/Introduction

Duplicate Hardware Support Manager messages are noticed in the results of certain vLCM's workflows when a Hardware Support Package (HSP) is included in the cluster or standalone host's software spec. 

These duplicate messages are seen in the API output and in the UI.

The duplicate messages are purely cosmetic and operations are NOT being run more than once.

Environment

vLCM clusters in VCF (all versions <= VCF 9.0)

Resolution

There is currently no resolution.  The duplicate messages will be fixed in a future VCF release.
