Resolution

If Offline method is being used ,

• Download the bundle on a different server using the below commands

# wget https://dl.broadcom.com:443/token/PROD/COMP/SDDC_MANAGER_VCF/bundles/bundle-226653.tar -P /nfs/vmware/vcf/nfs-mount/OfflineSideLoad 

# wget https://dl.broadcom.com:443/token/PROD/COMP/SDDC_MANAGER_VCF/manifests/bundle-226653.manifest -P /nfs/vmware/vcf/nfs-mount/OfflineSideLoad

# wget https://dl.broadcom.com:443/token/PROD/COMP/SDDC_MANAGER_VCF/manifests/bundle-226653.manifest.sig -P /nfs/vmware/vcf/nfs-mount/OfflineSideLoad

• Replace the token in the above commands with your generated token from the Broadcom Support Portal.
• Once the above files are downloaded upload them to the SDDC manager (any folder) using winscp.
• Once they are uploaded then use the below command to upload the files to LCM.

# curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1/lcm/bundle/upload -d '{"bundle":"/nfs/vmware/vcf/nfs-mount/OfflineSideLoad/bundle-226653.tar","manifest":"/nfs/vmware/vcf/nfs-mount/OfflineSideLoad/bundle-226653.manifest","signature":"/nfs/vmware/vcf/nfs-mount/OfflineSideLoad/bundle-226653.manifest.sig"}' -H 'Content-Type:application/json'
