Products

• VMware Tanzu Platform - Cloud Foundry
• VMware Tanzu Application Service

Issue/Introduction

When upgrading VMware Tanzu Application Service for VMs (TAS/TPCF) from version 4.0 to 6.0, you might get error when adding TAS 6.0 product by clicking the + symbol next to a product listing left of Installation Dashboard in Operations Manager UI.  In the current TAS 4.0.x tile - 'Cloud Controller' - 'Available Stacks', option 'cflinuxfs4 only' is selected.

 

In Operations Manager version prior to 3.0.37+LTS-T, the error message looks like:

Invalid Javascript migrations response with properties: 'selector option with no selector'. Please contact your VMware representative.

In Operations Manager version greater than or equal to 3.0.37+LTS-T, the error message looks like:

Unable to upgrade due to invalid Javascript migrations result: 'Migration result contains a selector option property '.properties.cloud_controller_fs4_only.fs3_and_fs4_option.cloud_controller_default_stack' that is nested under a selector property '.properties.cloud_controller_fs4_only' that does not exist'. Please contact your VMware representative. 

Environment

Resolution

The issue has been fixed in TAS 6.0.12.

Workaround prior to TAS 6.0.12:

• Select 'Cloud Controller' - 'Available Stacks'-  'cflinuxfs3 and cflinuxfs4' temporarily in TAS 4.0 tile, and then add TAS 6.0 product.
