I am attempting to upgrade a Dell R740xd cluster from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3.
I have attempted multiple ways... Lifecycle Manager Baseline Remediation, manual SSH "software profile update", and a regular Dell custom ISO. All have failed with an error one way or another.
When I use putty to do an SSH update I see:
[ValueError]
Expected 1 component, found 2
Lifecycle Remediation gives
Cannot execute upgrade script on host.
The ISO method, gives this known issue error (from release notes):
If a live VIB install, upgrade, or remove operation immediately precedes an interactive or scripted upgrade to ESXi 7.0 Update 3 by using the installer ISO, the upgrade fails
When a VIB install, upgrade, or remove operation immediately precedes an interactive or scripted upgrade to ESXi 7.0 Update 3 by using the installer ISO, the ConfigStore might not keep some configurations of the upgrade. As a result, ESXi hosts become inaccessible after the upgrade operation, although the upgrade seems successful. To prevent this issue, the ESXi 7.0 Update 3 installer adds a temporary check to block such scenarios. In the ESXi installer console, you see the following error message: Live VIB installation, upgrade or removal may cause subsequent ESXi upgrade to fail when using the ISO installer.
Anyone have any ideas or tips that I may not have thought of to get this update installed. - vCenter updated to 7.0.3 perfectly, vSphere not so much.
