PSC Merge fail - The vCenter Server appliance build number does not match with the vCenter Server appliance configured in the update repository.

[jayharmer]

I  have upgraded my vCenter PSC to 6.7.0.44000. When I go into vCenter (System Configuration) and click the "Converge to Embedded" button, it fails with the following error:

The vCenter Server appliance build number does not match with the vCenter Server appliance configured in the update repository.

Based on a similar posting, I added the 6.7 ISO to the VM but no luck. Any idea on what causes this and how to get past it?

Thank you,

I had the same issue and they I fixed was inside the VAMI click on Settings and choose use custom repository. Copy and paste the same repository from the default repository.

Go back to converge windows and try again. Monitor the process with login to VCSA and use tail.

cd /var/log/vmware/converge/

sudo tail -f converge.log

I hope that will help you in your case.

Thanks for the info VentziP. It didn't quite work for me when I did it in the VAMI interface but it did give me the idea to check it elsewhere. I logged into the shell and checked the update repo there and it was still stuck on the 6.5 repo! I reset it to Default and then it was all good. *edit* later realised that I was probably updating the wrong VAMI interface :smileygrin:

@apthor 

Thx for the tipp! Same problem here and setting the repository back to default on the commandline solved the problem. Just klicking in VAMI helped.
