I fixed the issue myself. It's essentially the same kind of fix I used after the upgrade to 7 U1c
One again, the file /etc/applmgmt/appliance/software_update_state.conf was not updated with the final status. My Upgrade was successful but on my VCSA, the file still read:
root@vcenter01 [ /etc/applmgmt/appliance ]# cat software_update_state.conf
{
"state": "UPDATES_PENDING",
"version": "7.0.1.00300",
"latest_query_time": "2021-02-03T00:25:27Z",
"operation_id": "/storage/core/software-update/stage_operation"
The line "UPDATES_PENDING" gives it away.
Do the following:
SSH in and check if there are 3 files in /var/log/vmware/upgrade called:
prechecks-succeeded
export-succeeded
import-succeeded
If they don't exist, create with the "touch" command like this:
cd /var/log/vmware/upgrade
touch prechecks-succeeded
touch export-succeeded
touch import-succeeded
Then:
service-control --stop applmgmt
rm -rf /etc/applmgmt/appliance/software_update_state.conf
service-control --start applmgmt
Wait 10 seconds, open the 5480 console in your browser again. Log in and the error should be gone.
@ the website administrator: the output is a mess and not at all what the editor shows. I had all the lines nicely spaced out and in the editor it still likes like that there, but the end-result here is that most lines are pressed on top of each other.
