SDDC Manager Configure Upgrade Wizard fails to list images in Google Chrome due to ReferenceError: structuredClone is not defined

Products

• VMware SDDC Manager / VCF Installer

Issue/Introduction

When attempting to upgrade a cluster in a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment using image-based management, the Configure Upgrade wizard fails to display or list any imported images, even after successful extraction via Lifecycle Management > Image Management.

• The following error is observed in the browser's developer console (F12): ERROR ReferenceError: structuredClone is not defined at Object.next

Environment

VMware Cloud Foundation 5.x

VMware SDDC Manager 5.x

Cause

The SDDC Manager user interface utilizes the structuredClone() native JavaScript Web API for deep-cloning objects. This API is only implemented in modern web browsers. The ReferenceError occurs because the Google Chrome client being used is an older version (pre-version 98) that does not support this specific API.

 

Resolution

1. Update Google Chrome:
   • Navigate to chrome://settings/help in your browser.
   • Verify the version and update the client to Chrome brwser Version 98 or newer.
     
     
     
2. Use a Supported Browser:
   • Access the SDDC Manager UI using Mozilla Firefox (Version 94 or newer) or Microsoft Edge.
     
     
     
3. Clear Browser Data:
   • After updating the browser, clear the browser cache and local storage for the SDDC Manager FQDN.
   • Restart the browser session and re-authenticate.
