Hello,
I have VCSA 6.7.0. I see there is 6.7.0a - so I downloaded the ISO for this (VMware-vCenter-Server-Appliance-6.7.0.11000-8546234-patch-FP.iso). I connect this to the cdrom, and I try via command line:
Command> software-packages stage --iso
[2018-06-28T17:54:56.179] : ISO mounted successfully
[2018-06-28T17:54:56.179] : ISO unmounted successfully
[2018-06-28T17:54:56.179] : Target patch version is not supported.
I've also noticed that in Updates (i.e. VUM) - I have no icon for Updates. All other functions (Administration, Policies, etc.) have a small icon. Updates is blank (but I can click on it).
Once I'm in updates, the only "available" updates are from 2015 and version 6.0.0 ?! I choose Download, and the task fires that claims it's downloading updates. Nothing changes though.
One other data point - I initially installed this on eval licenses, and I just today bough Essentials and applied the licenses. I rebooted VCSA clean after applying the licenses. No change.
TL;DR: VCSA with updates completely stuck.
Update: So the URL for updates repo is:
I get 404 all day long on this. It appears to be served from Akamai CDN. Can anyone else try this - and see if you also get 404s ?
File not found."
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

I made some progress. The browser I was using was in "private mode" - and Updates wouldn't work so good.
I can see updates in VAMI now at least.
i too get the 404 error when going to the website that it says it checks. I can't get updates on my new 6.7 vcsa as well. Did you find a fix for this before i go to support?
never mind, i just found this post and it looks like the repo location was wrong. pasted this into the custom url
Anyone else, please look at this post about it.
