Issue/Introduction

When attempting to install a PSpak on vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager (vRSLCM), the import fails and displays the following error code: LCMPSPACKDOWNLOAD16005

Environment

VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle 8.x

Cause

The LCMPSPACKDOWNLOAD16005 error indicates an incomplete or corrupted download of the PSpak file. This is typically caused by a network interruption during the download process or insufficient disk space on the appliance.

You can confirm this by checking the system logs, which will show an "unexpected EOF" (End of File) exception:

ERROR [TaskThread] c.v.v.l.p.c.p.t.OfflinePspackTask -  -- Exception happened while downloading the pspack

Resolution

To resolve this issue, you need to verify the integrity of your downloaded file by comparing its MD5 checksum against the official checksum listed on the Broadcom Support Portal.

Step 1: Check the MD5 Hash of Your Downloaded File Depending on your operating system, open your terminal or command prompt and run the appropriate command:

  • For Windows (PowerShell):

    Get-FileHash -Path "<path_to_file>" -Algorithm MD5

  • For Unix / Linux:

    md5sum <path_to_file>

Step 2: Compare and Re-download

  • Make a note of the MD5 Checksum provided on the Broadcom Support Portal where you downloaded the PSpak.

  • Compare it to the output from your command in Step 1.

  • If the checksums do not match: The file is corrupted. Delete the bad file, ensure you have sufficient local disk space, and download the PSpak again before attempting a new installation.
