host Upgrade error -1 from VUM
Hello,
I upgrade platfrom from version VMware ESXi, 7.0.2, 18538813 to VMware ESXi, 7.0.3, 21053776 on DELL environment via VUM.
The DELL ISO image is working well, and upgrade from VUM ending successful to version "7.0.3, 20328353", but after that I am trying upgrade the host by vmware patch "VMware-ESXi-7.0U3j-21053776-depot.zip", which was manually uploaded to VUM. And the remediation always ending by:
"The host returns esxupdate error codes: -1. Check the Lifecycle Manager log files and esxupdate log files for more details"
In the ESXi update log is this reason, which is absolutely not understandable to me, as upgrade from version 6.7 to 7U2 was done a year ago, why the package still think, that the ESXi host is in version 6.7. (Manual upgrade by the same package by cmd "esxcli software vib update –d /path/path.zip" is working and I am on final version, but the VUM reason of the fail is minimally weird.
