Vcenter 6.7U2 Host customization fails

[DMO001]

Installed VCSA version:

     6.7.0.30000, build 13010631, 6.7(U2)

(Updated from 6.7U1)

Problem observed:

     When attempting to edit Host Customizations, I get the following response from the UI:

          Host customizations validation failed. 

This is happening for any individual host, or all in combination.

The following errors are found on the vCenter server:

Any ideas?

It's so new you will need to open an SR.

[DMO001 · Accepted solution]

OK, bad form to reply to my own, but the following worked for me:

1. Remove all device dependencies (local disks) by editing the Host Profile

2. Then edit Host Customizations

I was being a bit lazy trying to move things along without editing the Host Profile first.  I am appropriately punished for my laziness by a large amount of time wasted.
