Single image upgrade from 7.0U1 to U2

[larstr]

We have 2 clusters of Dell R740 vSAN ready nodes and vCenter has recently been upgraded to 7.0U2a.

The hosts have been installed using DellEMC image A01 for 7.0U1.

The servers in the first cluster were upgraded using the traditional method of Update Manager where we imported the latest DellEMC iso. The upgrade proceeded without any issues.

For the second cluster we decided to enable "Manage with Single Image". We selected the U2 image with the U2 additions from DellEMC.  It turns out that upgrading is not so simple as all of the hosts were "incompatible with the image":

What's the easiest way of getting this one working? Reinstall with pure VMware image before starting to use Single Image?
