Starting from VxRail 7.0.240, version 4 of VxRail LCM API enables the user to perform a partial upgrade of the VxRail cluster ESXi hosts, using optional "target_hosts" property to indicate the hosts to be upgraded. During VxRail API upgrade to 8.0.000, customer can complete the first-round partial upgrade to bring VxRail Manager, internal vCenter and part of the ESXi hosts to target code level successfully. However, the second-round partial upgrade hits error: Pre-checking that the composite upgrade bundle version is compatible with the installed system version.
The first-round partial upgrade changed VxRail system version to 8.0, but the upgrade bundle file name is VXRAIL_COMPOSITE-8.0.000-xxx_for_7.0.x.zip, which is for upgrading 7.0.x VxRail system. So the second-round upgrade precheck treats this upgrade bundle as incompatible with the current VxRail system version.
Change the upgrade bundle file name to work around this issue. SSH login into VxRail Manager and switch to root account. Locate the upgrade bundle file under /data/store2/ folder, for example it is "VXRAIL_COMPOSITE-8.0.000-27812316_for_7.0.x.zip" Change the file name. For example: cd /data/store2/ mv VXRAIL_COMPOSITE-8.0.000-27812316_for_7.0.x.zip VXRAIL_COMPOSITE-8.0.000.zip Call LCM V4 API again with updated payload, using "/data/store2/VXRAIL_COMPOSITE-8.0.000.zip" as the value of key "bundle_file_locator": { "bundle_file_locator": "/data/store2/VXRAIL_COMPOSITE-8.0.000.zip" , "vxrail": { "vxm_root_user": { "username": "root", "password": "vxrail_manager_password" } }, "vcenter": { "vc_admin_user": { "username": "administrator@vsphere.local", "password": "account_password" }, "vcsa_root_user": { "username": "root", "password": "vc_root_password" } }, "target_hosts": [ { "name": "host03.domain01.local" } ] } The prechecks should now pass, and the partial upgrade continues.
