HCX Cloud Manager activation/upgrade

[ben_turner_]

Evening, a bit of a long shot but I thought worth asking.

Is it possible to install a HCX Cloud Manage appliance, and activate this without it applying the latest HCX updates?

I have a use case where I need to step through the upgrade process, yet each time the activation step complete the appliance is then upgraded automatically to 4.3.1.

Thanks, Ben.

block connectivity to hybridity-depot.vmware.com and then give it a shot

Funny you should mention that, I had a similar thought yesterday and tried exactly this.

Didn't work though, the appliance sat with the below for over 3 hours.

I'm afraid you cannot stop the self upgrade process.
