VCSA 7.0 - Update Planner "Unexpected error occurred while fetching the updates"

[Richardkovics]

I am getting this error message for VCSA 7.0 - Update Planner "Unexpected error occurred while fetching the updates"

Also getting errors under "Interoperability" - Unexpected error occurred while fetching the interoperability details

I have tried:

"SSH into VCSA 7.0 and run the below command:

rm /etc/applmgmt/appliance/software_update_state.conf

After removing the file, VCSA patched successfully."

I am now stuck at why this update planner is no longer working.

Any help would be appreciated on this on.

Ever since they went web in 5 whatever, it has been nothing but downhill.

The full on application was bullet proof, since its just been bug after bug after bug.

Dude there's hardly anything that actually works anymore. It's become the new normal.

Woohoo! Glad I'm near retirement because it's out of hand.

I don’t understand the need to complicate your life by typing all the necessary commands, just use VAMI ... it works perfectly.

Stage it and then install it.

VAMI was the first thing I tried.  It gave back a bunch of errors, so I used the commands to reset and that worked in VAMI afterwards.  We all got to whatever revision we were running different ways, and I think that's what is breaking the updates for some.
