    I am trying to create an custom iso to bring in to my SDDC manager and followed the directions from https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Cloud-Foundation/4.3/vcf-admin/GUID-D43A3FAC-682E-46F7-8342-03364EE5D2CC.html

    Get-DepotBaseImages "D:\VCF_ESXI_7.0u2c\VMware-ESXi-7.0U2c-18426014-depot.zip"

    Version Vendor Release date

    Get-DepotAddons "D:\VCF_ESXI_7.0u2c\lnv-esx-7.0.2-custom-20210717-21C_addon.zip"

    Name Version ID Vendor Release date
    ---- ------- -- ------ ------------
    LVO 7.0.2-LVO.702.10.7 LVO:7.0.2-LVO.702.10.7 Lenovo, Inc. 07/16/2021 17:15:18

     

     

    The issue is that it spits out TWO depot base images. The .20 is a bugfix and the .15 is a security fix. The json fails if I list both, but work if I list one. What is the solution here?

    Will fail because two base images are listed:

    {
    "add_on": {
    "name": "LVO",
    "version": "7.0.2-LVO.702.10.7"
    },
    "base_image": {
    "version": ["7.0.2-0.20.18426014","7.0.2-0.15.18295176"]
    },
    "components": null,
    "hardware_support": null,
    "solutions": null
    }
