The issue occurs if the Update manager extension is missing from the vCenter server. To verify go to https://<VC_IP>/mob/?moid=ExtensionManager> and "com.vmware.vcIntegrity" extension will be missing.
To resolve the issue, register the Update Manager extension "com.vmware.vcIntegrity" manually and then re-register the Update manager to VCSA: Access vCenter Server Mob through browser using URL https://<VC_IP/FQDN>/mob/?moid=ExtensionManagerFrom methods, select RegisterExtensionCopy and Paste the below XML string and click on invoke method. This should return void and when we go back to link in step 1, "com.vmware.vcIntegrity" should appear under Extensions. XML: <extension> <description> <label>VMware Update Manager</label> <summary>VMware Update Manager</summary> </description> <key>com.vmware.vcIntegrity</key> <version>REPLACE_ME</version> <lastHeartbeatTime>2021-08-03T11:41:06</lastHeartbeatTime> </extension> Note: Check the <version> in /etc/vmware/service-state/updatemgr/extension.xml file and update it in the XML before you invoke the method. Check the <lastHeartbeatTime> using the date command, formatting using the example above.
