Environment

VMware Cloud Foundation 5.2.1

Cause

Stale 6.7 and 6.5 vCenter bundle references in the LCM database. 

Resolution

1. SSH into the SDDC manager appliance with vcf user and elevate to root with su. 

2. Copy the cleanup_vc_bundles_lt7.py  script from the KB to the /home/vcf/ directory on the SDDC manager. 

3. Run the cleanup_vc_bundles_lt7.py with the below command. (The script will cycle the lcm service)

python cleanup_vc_bundles_lt7.py

4.Wait several minutes and retry the Plan Patching workflow in the SDDC Manager UI. 
(It may take 10-15 minutes for the screen to populate)
