Latest patch versions are not displayed in SDDC Manager patch planning

Products

• VMware SDDC Manager / VCF Installer

Issue/Introduction

In a VMware Cloud Foundation 5.x environment, when checking the patch planning on the SDDC Manager, the latest patch version is not displayed, and only the previous generation version is shown.

Environment

VMware Cloud Foundation 5.x
SDDC Manager

Cause

This issue occurs because the lcm service in SDDC Manager fails to download the manifest files due to insufficient disk space, preventing the system from retrieving the latest patch information. The following error is recorded in the lcm service log:

YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS ERROR [vcf_lcm,XXXXXXXXXX,YYYY] [c.v.e.s.l.c.s.BundleManifestDownloadScheduler,vac-scheduler-1] Exception while polling for bundle manifests
java.io.IOException: No space left on device

Resolution

Connect to the SDDC Manager via SSH as the root user, then check the available disk space to free up capacity.

1. Run the df -h command to check the overall file system usage.

2. Identify overgrown directories and unnecessary files by using a command such as du -s /* | sort -nr.

3. Remove unnecessary files to free up disk space.

Additional Information

After freeing up disk space, the latest manifest files will be downloaded either by restarting the lcm service or waiting for the next polling cycle, which will allow the latest patch versions to be displayed.
