Upgrading HP 6.0 Image to 6.5 is listed as incompatible in VUM due to below VIB Conflicts The upgrade contains the following set of conflicting VIBs: Emulex_bootbank_scsi-lpfc820_8.2.4.151.65-1OEM.500.0.0.472560 Emulex_bootbank_scsi-lpfc820_8.2.4.151.65-1OEM.500.0.0.472560 Remove the conflicting VIBs or use Image Builder to create a custom upgrade ISO image that contains the newer versions of the conflicting VIBs, and try to upgrade again.

vCSA 6.0 to 6.5 Upgrade Fail – Migration Assistant on VUM Server

Image
Upgrading PSC 6.0 appliance to 6.5 worked like a charm. Next step was vCenter appliance upgrade,which would now consolidate Windows based VUM server to the vCenter appliance. So this requires you to run VMware Migration Assistant on the Windows VUM server. Every time I start the Migration Assistant it failed with an below error Error: A problem occurred during authentication to the legacy vCenter Server using the provided credentials. Resolution make sure the vCenter Server is up and running. Verify you have entered the correct credentials. I was sure that the SSO password is correct.  Looking at the logs UpgradeRunner log mentions 2018-06-20T21:48:04.483Z INFO utils.featureState_utils Found FSS AUTOMATED_VUM_UPGRADE=True 2018-06-20T21:48:04.513Z WARNING bindings.vc_binding Cannot get access to VC Inventory http://<VCIP>:80, because of Error: Server has wrong SHA1 thumbprint: 7aa2612f090cdd1212sqw216943489ada70019 (required) != b3de7868330f12511b767a122abb245448d5d (server). 2018
