Issue/Introduction
Remediation fails with the following error:
"An error occurred while downloading VIB from URL http://<VC IP Address>:9084/vum/repository/hostupdate/vmw/vib20/icen/INT_bootbank_icen_x.x.x.vib.","errorTime":...}
A general system error occurred: "Staging failed for Host 'x.x.x.x'"
Environment
vSphere vCenter Server 8.x
vSphere vCenter Server 9.x
Cause
The host remediation fails due to a metadata mismatch.
This mismatch is caused by previously synchronized updates that do not align with the driver component.zip file manually imported into Lifecycle Manager (LCM).
Resolution
1 - SSH into the vCenter Server.
2 - Manually delete the VIB file from the following path:
/storage/updatemgr/patch-store/hostupdate/INT/vib20/icen/INT_bootbank_icen_xxxx.vib
3 - Reattempt the host remediation.
