Hi Gurus,
First of all, thank you so much for providing with wonderful and precise solutions to almost any individual problems that one can come across. With that being said, I am having a small hiccup when ot comes to patching vCenter 7.0. My current version of vCenter is as follows
Version - 7.0.0.10100
Build - 15952498
I am planning to patch it to the following -
Version - 7.0.0.10300
Build -16189094
I have vCenter setup in HA mode. The procedure that I am following is as per the Vmware Documentation over Here
I have downloaded the correct .iso for the same. But as soon as I try to stage the iso, I encounter an error. Just to be sure, I have now downloaded the iso twice to eliminate the doubt of a corrupt download. The error that I get is as follows:

Do you folks have any idea regarding the same? Could it be that the source iso was released with a problem?
Appreciate any inputs.
Thanks & Regards,
Siddhesh
