Issue/Introduction
Below error will be noticed in the Upgrade page:
Error: File name does not conform to the expected format.Please remove extra characters such as brackets and try again
Environment
VMware NSX-T
Cause
The incorrect upgrade bundle was used for the precheck.
In this case the customer did the .PUB which completed, the next step is to upload the .MUB. Its a workflow error on the customers part.
Resolution
This issue occurs because the precheck was run using a PUB file for the version 3.2.X , which is not valid for the upgrade process. For upgrading NSX, a MUB file must be used for the versions 3.2.x and lower.
-
Download the correct MUB upgrade bundle from the Broadcom Customer Support Portal.
-
Upload and use the MUB file, as it contains both the upgrade prechecks and the upgrade software.
Example:
Required upgrade bundle:
-
Product: NSX 4.2.2.1 Upgrade Bundle
-
File:
VMware-NSX-upgrade-bundle-4.2.2.1.0.24765084.mub(9.13 GB) -
Build Number: 24765084
For future upgrades beyond NSX 4.2.2.1, the PUB file can be used for prechecks.
Please refer the Support Portal to download the right upgrade bundle:
NOTE: MUB will not include the PUB. It is a separate process
