Issue/Introduction
The OBTU offline bundle transfer utility, lcm-bundle-transfer-util is being used on SDDC Manager to upload bundles to SDDC Manager.
The error below is encountered -
The bundles directory doesn't contain the delta and delta.md5 files
Environment
VCF 4.x
VCF 5.x
Cause
This error can be encountered if an incomplete path to the bundles is specified in the lcm-bundle-transfer-util command.
Example -
./lcm-bundle-transfer-util --upload --bundleDirectory /nfs/vmware/vcf/nfs-mount/offlineBundles/
Resolution
Ensure that the full path to the bundles is specified in the lcm-bundle-transfer-util command.
Example -./lcm-bundle-transfer-util --upload --bundleDirectory /nfs/vmware/vcf/nfs-mount/offlineBundles/apTools
The apTools directory is the directory that contains the bundles, lcm, manifests, tmp directories and deltaFileDownloaded, deltaFileDownloaded.md5, index.v3 files
If issue persists with same error: "The bundles directory doesn't contain the delta and delta.md5 files.", kindly refer below steps to utilize local directory path in the SDDC manager appliance:
Re-run the download command using the utility to ensure a complete bundle set, including the required manifest metadata.
Verify that delta and delta.md5 files exist in the target directory.
Copy the entire contents of the binaries directory to a local path on the SDDC Manager.
Execute the upload command pointing to the correct directory:
./lcm-bundle-transfer-util --upload --bundleDirectory <LOCAL_PATH_TO_BINARIES>
