Issue/Introduction
This knowledge base (KB) includes the metadata file for the partner bundle specific to the VxRail async patch. Users are required to copy the necessary VxRail partner bundle metadata file to the outdirectory of the Async patch tool, where the async patch bundle is downloaded. This step is mandatory before enabling the VxRail patch operation.
Environment
Vmware Cloud Foundation 4.5
VMware Cloud Foundation 4.4.x
VMware Cloud Foundation 4.3.x
VMware Cloud Foundation 4.2.1
Resolution
If you have been following the async patch admin guide for applying the Async patch to VMware Cloud Foundation, please note that in the "Online Mode" section, this step should be carried out as step 4, while in the "Offline Mode" section, it should be performed as step 5.
Follow the below mentioned steps:
- Download the patch-specific partner bundle metadata file as per the below table (VxRail patch-specific Partner Bundle Metadata).
- Copy the downloaded patch-specific partner bundle metadata file to the AP tool output directory where patch bundles will be downloaded. If you have not specified the --ouputDirectory, the default output directory will be {user.home}/apToolBundles (refer the Async Patch Admin Guide).
- Follow the instructions outlined in the Async Patch Admin Guide for the rest of the procedure for applying the patch.
