    <description>&lt;P&gt;I’ve finally got an update button after I uploaded the bundle-drift patch file.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I’m afraid this document from VMware is not correct:&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Cloud-Foundation/4.4/vcf-lifecycle/GUID-8FA44ACE-8F04-47DA-845E-E0863094F7B0.html" target="_blank"&gt;https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Cloud-Foundation/4.4/vcf-lifecycle/GUID-8FA44ACE-8F04-47DA-845E-E0863094F7B0.html&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you follow the document and select to download patches it doesn’t download the bundle-drift file which means you don’t get either the “schedule update” or “update now” buttons.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So, you need to run the lcm download twice to create two folder structures, vcf-bundle-patch and vcf-bundle-drift, the first time choosing patch and the second time specifically choosing the drift patch bundle.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You then need to upload both folders to /nfs/vmware/vcf/nfs-mount&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You can then run the following:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;cd /opt/vmware/vcf/lcm/lcm-tools/bin&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;./lcm-bundle-transfer-util --upload --bundleDirectory /nfs/vmware/vcf/nfs-mount/vcf-bundle-patch&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;./lcm-bundle-transfer-util --upload --bundleDirectory /nfs/vmware/vcf/nfs-mount/vcf-bundle-drift&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;After this, I now have both of the buttons.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>VCF Offline Upgrade - the upgrade button disappears after uploading the manifest</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;We have VCF 4.4.0 and I'm trying to upgrade to 4.4.1.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We are doing the lcm offline process as our SDDC Manager and vCenter server do not have internet access.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;After uploading the manifest and patch bundle to the SDDC Manager it can see 4.4.1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So, I then&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN&gt;browse to "Inventory &amp;gt; Workload Domains", select the Management Domain&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I click on "Update/Patches"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Under "Available Updates" I select "SELECT CLOUD FOUNDATION VERSION" and then "Cloud Foundation 4.4.1.0", but the&amp;nbsp;"Schedule Upgrade / Upgrade" button doesn't appear.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When you select&amp;nbsp;"Cloud Foundation 4.4.1.0" a yellow message flashes up so quickly you can't read it, but it is something about needing to upgrade management before workload..&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I've tried this process in 2 environments and on the second one I forgot to upload the manifest and when I did this the "Schedule Upgrade / Upgrade" was available but it failed the prechecks.&amp;nbsp; So, I then uploaded the manifest and the "Schedule Upgrade / Upgrade" button disappears and never reappears.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Any ideas of why the&amp;nbsp;"Schedule Upgrade / Upgrade" button disappears and how to get it back?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Campos68,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The link you sent was to do with Horizon, not VCF (VMware Cloud Foundation).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks, Andrew.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Andrew,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;VCF Upgrade Sequence is like this below :&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;1st you will have to upgrade your Management Domain Components i.e.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1. SDDC Manager .&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2.&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;, vRealize Suite products, and Workspace ONE Access (if applicable).&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;A .&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;B. vRealize Log Insight&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;C. vRealize Operations&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;D. vRealize Automation&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN class=""&gt;E. Workspace ONE Access&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;3. NSX-T&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;4. VC (this will be only the Mgmt VC , not all the VI WLD VCs it will upgrade )&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;5. ESXI Patch /VxRail (if this is VCF on VxRail )&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Once you you complete all these components upgrade , that means you MGMT Domain is fully upgraded to Target version .&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Only after this the SDDC Manager LCM will allow you to upgrade the VI WLD Workload Domain. that sequence is followed below .&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1. NSX-T&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2. VC&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;3. ESXI /VxRail (if this is VCfonVxRail)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Please check the below document :&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Cloud-Foundation/4.4/vcf-lifecycle/GUID-409447A2-FF47-4B64-BAE8-1C00943CB6A8.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Upgrade Prerequisites (vmware.com)&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Cloud-Foundation/4.4/vcf-lifecycle/GUID-C82BB0D4-FD52-4CC9-A6BB-3A6CF35E380E.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Upgrading to VMware Cloud Foundation 4.4 or 4.4.1&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Cloud-Foundation/4.4/vcf-lifecycle/GUID-E101AFB5-1034-4CF9-B96E-A2E70DCF02F5.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Upgrade the Management Domain to VMware Cloud Foundation 4.4 or 4.4.1&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Cloud-Foundation/4.4/vcf-lifecycle/GUID-3B41CF79-C721-4AFC-A263-0672143DF41E.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Upgrade VI Workload Domains to VMware Cloud Foundation 4.4 &lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;coming back to the point where you dont see the manifest file miss and upload it again . Hoping u have taken a snapshot before u do the precheck and upload any files.&amp;nbsp; if u havent dont it please do that going in ur up coming upgrades.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;if you are sure u have updated teh manifesto files and all bundles are in place.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;try restart the lcm serivce i.e.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;systemctl restart lcm&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Just resurrecting this to say thanks for posting the solution, I just had the same issue with a 4.4.0.0 to 4.5.1.0 upgrade and after trying a few other things (working with VMware Support via an SR) but not managing to find a solution I stumbled across this thread. Hopefully VMware will now finally update the documentation!&lt;/P&gt;</description>
