  • 1.  Pre-Upgrade check failed. Not allowed in current

    Posted 29 days ago

    I was in the middle of vcenter 7 to 8 upgrade and received an error about session timed out since it took over 60 minutes. I fixed the issue but when I try to run it again, I get pre-upgrade check failed due the following problem. The appliance configuration has failed, so this action is not allowed in the current state. How do I clear the message so I can re-run the state 2 upgrade.

    What happens when you log in to the old vCenter Server's VAMI console?
    Does it show any messages?

    It's just shows that it's in the Upgrade - Stage 2: Data Transfer and vCenter Server setup is in progress. 

    Copy data from source vCenter server to target vCenter server and it stays at 0%

    Maybe not the exact same symptom, but resetting the update state file on the old vCSA may help.

    See https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article/320702/accessing-the-vami-returns-error-update.html

    Please make sure that you have a current backup, and then redo the whole upgrade.

    Thanks that did it. I follow the KB and was able to access the old vCSA VAMI console. I shutdown the new vcenter and just did the whole upgrade process again and was able to successfully upgrade it to v8.
