Issue/Introduction

  • While converting the baseline to image an error observed "Extraction of image from <host_fqdn> failed.
    Recreation of the VIB NVD_bootbank_NVD-VMware_ESXi_8.0.0_Driver_535.261.04-10EM.800.1.0.20613240 failed due to checksum mismatch. VIB may have been created using older tools. Try a different host or update the component that contains this VIB."

  • Execution of the vcfbaselineCLustertransitionscript on a cluster fails with the following error on host:
    Could not stage image profile '(Updated) VMware Lifecycle Manager Generated Image': Failed to create ramdisk vibdownload: [Errno 17] File exists: '/tmp/vibdownload. 

Environment

  • vCenter Server 8.x
  • ESXi 8.x
  • SDDC Manager 5.2.x

Cause

  • The issue occurs due to checksum mismatch between the component installed on the ESXi host and image from the depot.
  • During the depot extraction, the lifecycle manager tries to validate the components and calculates the checksum of the file to ensure integrity. However, due to the mismatch in checksum value, the extraction fails causing the Image conversion task to fail.

Resolution

Start using vSphere Lifecycle Manager images for an existing cluster using baselines by setting up an image manually.

    1. In the vSphere Client, navigate to a cluster or host that you manage with baselines and baseline groups.
    2. On the Updates tab, click Image.
    3. Click the Set up image manually button.
    4. To validate the image, click the Validate button.
    5. You validate an image to check for missing dependencies and component conflicts.
    6. Click Save and Saving the image triggers an automatic compliance check. All hosts in the cluster or the standalone host are checked against the image.
    7. In the Convert to an Image pane, finish the image setup.
    8. Click the Finish image setup button. In the Finish image setup dialog box,
    9. Click Yes, finish image setup.
