Hello Dave,
If you run the next command what does it shows you: software-packages list --staged --verbose
Also you can run the whole patch from the VAMI. Simply follow the next procedure which is really short: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vcenter.upgrade.doc/GUID-FF533442-66F0-4797...
Hello
Command> software-packages list --staged --verbose
[2020-09-07T14:32:17.251] : Packages not staged
*******
Nothing gets staged in my original command. software-packages stage --iso cmd returns "Nothing to stage"
As you can see below my appliance is 7.0.0.10400 yet the patch iso I have mounted is VMware-vCenter-Server-Appliance-7.0.0.10700-16749653-patch-FP.iso
I originally tried to use the Management console:
I get:
However my vCenter appears to be functioning fine. I was hoping CLI would give me more verbose information.
Hello Lalegre
Deleted "/etc/applmgmt/appliance/software_update_state.conf" & reran the update to 7.0.0.10700 from the Management UI. Now the GUI & software-packages think my appliance is already at 7.0.0.10700.
I've tried to run the update of 7.0.0.10700 before but it's never completed successfully. I think I'm in the middle of that up.
vpxd is at build 16749670 (7.0.0.10700)
root@vCenter [ /etc/applmgmt/appliance ]# vpxd -v
VMware VirtualCenter 7.0.0 build-16749670
But the appliance Server Manager thinks it's at 7.0.0.10400
