Unable to acknowledge NSX precheck warning, "Invalid pre-check id provided"

Products

• VMware NSX

Issue/Introduction

• An upgrade of NSX was recently completed, or the manager node portion of the upgrade was completed (further components might be in a failed state).
• The NSX upgrade was performed via API calls to the NSX manager or through SDDC Manager (i.e., not via the NSX UI)
• There is a precheck warning visible in the NSX UI.
• Any attempt to acknowledge the precheck warning generates a message similar to the following:

Invalid pre-check id provided. Please provide valid pre-check id to acknowledge or resolve the pre-check.

• Entries similar to the following are present in the /var/log/upgrade-coordinator/upgrade-coordinator.log file:

Environment

VMware NSX

Cause

Precheck warnings are only required to be acknowledged when an upgrade is performed via the NSX UI. Upgrades performed via API or SDDC Manager are allowed to skip the acknowledgement of any precheck warnings, resulting in these warnings still being present when the upgrade is completed successfully. These leftover precheck warnings cannot be acknowledged as they are no longer valid (the upgrade is complete).

Resolution

The precheck warning can be ignored as it will not impact future upgrades via API or via SDCC Manager.
