Products

Issue/Introduction

This can happen in an upgraded environment where FIPS was OFF on 5.2.x SDDC-M and FIPS is preserved during the upgrade and Day-N SDDC-M API is used for the deployment of the Management components.

Environment

VCF 9.0.1

Resolution

1. Create a backup / snapshot of the vRSLCM appliance.
2. SSH to the vRSLCM appliance with root
3. Run the following command to remove the truststore file:
   rm /opt/vmware/vlcm/truststore
   
   
4. Restart vRSLCM service cmd:
   systemctl restart vrlcm-server.service
   
   
5. In the vcfOperationsFleetManagementSpec section of the used SDDC Manager API request payload json add : "useExistingDeployment": true as it is shown in the snippet:
   
   "vcfOperationsFleetManagementSpec": {
...
    "useExistingDeployment": true
  },
...
"
   and rerun the same API.
