Update vCenter form 6.7.4000 to 6.7.43000

[Hr_Ross76]

Hi,

vCenter isnt connected to Internet, so Upgrade must be offline.

I got following erros in the log after trying to update via stage iso process.

error=error: Failed dependencies:

Can you login to vCenter and go to summary tab you can see the version and build number. Also, target which update you are looking..

[Hr_Ross76]

Hi

Thats this:

Current vCenter: Version 6.7.0.40000 Build 15129973

and i want to update to this Version:

Version 6.7.0 43000 Build 15976728

greets

[Nawals]

As I can see your current version is vCenter Appliance 6.7 Update 3b (6.7.0.42000) build 15129973 and you are looking to upgrade to vCenter Appliance 6.7 Update 3f build 15976714 right?

I don't know where you get this Version 6.7.0 43000 Build 15976728 ? Can you confirm it.

[Hr_Ross76]

Ok,

this: Version 6.7.0 43000 Build 15976728 is the newest version... published 9. April 2020

and now thats strange:

my current vcenter shows 6.7.0.40000 but with the build number from 6.7.0.42000 (15129973)

here are the build numbers and versions:

vCenter Appliance 6.7 Update 3f	2020-04-09	15976714
vCenter Appliance 6.7 Update 3e	2020-03-26	15808844
vCenter Appliance 6.7 Update 3d	2020-02-27	15679281
vCenter Appliance 6.7 Update 3c	2020-01-30	15505668
vCenter Appliance 6.7 Update 3b (6.7.0.42000)	2019-12-05	15132721	15129973
vCenter Appliance 6.7 Update 3a (6.7.0.41000)	2019-10-24	14836122	14792544
vCenter Appliance 6.7 Update 3 (6.7.0.40000)	2019-08-20	14367737	14368073

thats strange...... isnt it?

and for your better understanding:

i have a 2nd vcenter here that i have already succesfull updated:

6.7.0.43000

cheers

[Nawals]

Below are the latest version I can see. I'm not sure if VMware rollback Version 6.7.0 43000 Build 15976728

vCenter Appliance 6.7 Update 3f

2020-04-09

15976714

I would suggest you to raise support case with VMware.

Pleas note that the vcsa reports diffenrent buildnumbers in vami an the client

[Vijay2027]

The error message "error=error: Failed dependencies:" basically means that there are few stale rpm's on the vCSA.

Run the command below and attach the o/p file to this thread.

rpm -qa > /var/tmp/rpm_list.txt

[Hr_Ross76]

Ok, here it is.

Hi

You need to stage the upgrade.

1.     6.7.0.41000

2.     6.7.0.42000

3.     6.7.0.42300

4.     6.7.0.43000

[Hr_Ross76]

Hi..

tried to stage the update with 6.7.0.41000..

didnt work 😞

[Vijay2027]

There are ~80 stale rpm's and corresponding binaries that needs to be removed before you patch it to latest version.

Recommend you to file a SR with GSS and DM me SR# num. Thanks.
