Update Manager 6.0 - "cancel discovering virtual appliance"

[DexG83]

Hey Community,

I have an Issue regarding virtual appliance discovery with Update Manager 6.

To resolve this issue, I deactivated Virtual Appliances scanning in Update Manager see KB:

The Update Manager task Discovering Virtual Appliance never completes (2047100) | VMware KB

After that I restarted the update manager service.

unfortunately the "Cancel discovering virtual appliance" tasks is there and could not be cancelled....

In addition I could not restart vcenter at the moment.

Thx in advance.

Unfortunately vCenter will need to be restarted to clear the hung task.

Finally I got a CAB approval for vcenter restart.

After that the hung task is cleared.

Thanks mhampto​ for the final suggestion!
