After failed update through VAMI Interface, i tried through CLI:

 

Command> software-packages stage --iso
[2021-01-07T10:50:42.007] : ISO mounted successfully
[2021-01-07T10:50:42.007] : UpdateInfo: Using product version 7.0.1.00100 and build 17004997

After the failed update did you revert to a working state?

If not there will be a mix of rpm's from diff versions that could lead to this issues.

SSH to VCSA and get this file /etc/applmgmt/appliance/update.conf and /etc/applmgmt/appliance/software_update_state.conf . Also the build number from the last vpxd.log

The first few lines on vpxd.log which has the build number  so do .

I doubt  the build versions are different ; mostly due to an earlier failed attempt of patching

Hello Ajay1988

I think you are right:

2021-01-11T07:26:52.870+01:00 - time the service was last started, Section for VMware VirtualCenter, pid=5796, version=7.0.1, build=17327586, option=Release
(vim.ResourceAllocationInfo) {

Build numbers are different.

But what can i do now? Is there a way to fix this?

kind regards
Michael

Hi all

Looks like there is no solution...
I made a backup before upgrade, but now i cant restore this backup because the service "Workload Control Plane" didnt start.

Thats a bit annoying..

If this is VAMI based restore  ; then restore needs to be performed on a new VCSA same build
