Environment

VMware Cloud Foundation 5.2

Cause

The feature.lcm.2.0 parameter is set to false in one of the async patch feature.properties files and it is overriding the ability to enable the feature.

Resolution

1. Open an SSH session to SDDC Manager and su to root
2. Run command to find all feature.properties files
   
   find / -iname feature.properties
   
   Example Output
   

   root@SDDC_Manager [ ~ ]# find / -iname feature.properties 
   /nfs/vmware/vcf/nfs-mount/asyncPatchTool/conf/feature.properties 
   /opt/vmware/vcf/commonsvcs/conf/feature.properties 
   /opt/vmware/vcf/lcm/lcm-app/conf/feature.properties 
   /storage/alt_root/home/vcf/vcf-async-patch-tool/conf/fcature.propertics 
   /storage/alt root/home/vcf/feature.properties 
   /storage/alt_root/home/vcf/lcm-tools-prod/conf/feature.properties 
   /storage/alt_root/home/vcf/lcm-tools-prod-4. 4.1.1/conf/feature.properties 
   /home/vcf/feature.properties /home/vcf/conf/feature.properties 
   /home/vcf/asyncPatchTool/conf/feature.properties 
   /home/vcf/vcf-async-patch-tool/conf/feature.properties 
   /home/vcf/1cm-tools-prod/conf/feature.properties 
   /home/vcf/lcm-tools-prod-4.4.1.1/conf/feature.properties

    

3. Update feature.lcm.2.0 property to equal false  in all async patch feature.properties files
   

   /nfs/vmware/vcf/nfs-mount/asyncPatchTool/conf/feature.properties
   
   /storage/alt_root/home/vcf/vcf-async-patch-tool/conf/fcature.propertics
   
   /home/vcf/asyncPatchTool/conf/feature.properties
   
   /home/vcf/vcf-async-patch-tool/conf/feature.properties

    

4. Re-initiate manifest download using the Async Patch tool
   
   ./lcm-bundle-transfer-util --download --bundleManifests --depotDownloadToken download-token --bundleManifestsDir binaries_dir/bundleManifests
