VMware vCenter Server

Issue/Introduction

After generating a token in the Broadcom Portal, staging an update for the vCenter results in a "Forbidden" error.

/var/log/vmware/applmgmt/update_microservice.log has entries similar to.

YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ - 243156 -  task_manager_target::                        update:  91 -    DEBUG - UpdateTask: status=FAILED, progress=1, message={'id': 'com.vmware.appliance.update.server_error', 'default_message': 'Server error at target URL', 'args': []}, failure_state=None

Environment

vCenter 8.x

Cause

The token is generated from a different site ID as the vCenter license which is assigned to the vCenter.

Resolution

Confirm what license is assigned to the vCenter and the site where that license is stored in the Broadcom Customer Portal.

Generate a token from that site and update the URL.
