Update patch VC-7.0u3c a VC-7.0u3o

[xorraadeu]

Hello everyone,

We are trying to update patches with offline mode from version VC-7.0u3c to VC-7.0u3o. But we get an error "Update is not staged". Does anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks in advance

Do you us the ZIP or ISO bundle?
Please explain the steps which result in the mentioned message.

Also verify that no other bundle may have been already staged.

software-packages list --staged

We use the offline method by adding to the vcenter an ISO image "VMware-vCenter-Server-Appliance-7.0.3.01700-22357613-patch-FP.iso" to the CD/DVD. From the VAMI we update by selecting Check CD-ROM

Executing the command "software-packages list --staged" I get the following message

List packages failed

Please verify that you do not have expired certificates, which may cause services to fail.

The certificates are ok.
Could it be that the iso was copied to the datastore wrong?
How can I check if the iso is ok? is there any command?

VMware provides a checksum with each download. That's how you can verify the ISO images intergity.

What I assume that you did with the ISO image is that you uploaded it ato a datastore, and attached it to the vCSA's virtual CD-ROM drive.

If that's the case, and all the services that are suppored to run (i.e. the ones which show start type Automatic in the VAMI console), it may be worth a try to run software-packages unstage to cleanup the staging space.

You can now upgrade vCenter. The ISO file was not copied properly to the datastore. I downloaded the ISO again and copied it to the datastore.

 Thank you a_p_
