When attempting to converge a 6.x PSC and vCenter the process fails almost immediately with no entries logged into the converge.log.On the GUI you see "example.vmware.com cannot be converged".In the converge_rest.log in /var/log/vmware/converge you see entries similar to: 2019-05-01 21:29:32,528 - vcenter.system_config_impl - INFO - feature ConvergeAPI is enabled.2019-05-01 21:29:32,529 - vcenter.system_config_impl - ERROR - Converge is already running.Got another REST call externally.2019-05-01 21:30:43,090 - vcenter.system_config_impl - INFO - feature ConvergeAPI is enabled.2019-05-01 21:30:43,090 - vcenter.system_config_impl - INFO - feature ConvergeAPI is enabled.2019-05-01 21:30:43,091 - vcenter.system_config_impl - ERROR - Converge is already running.Got another REST call externally.2019-05-01 21:30:43,091 - vcenter.system_config_impl - ERROR - Converge is already running.Got another REST call externally.2019-05-01 23:33:23,549 - vcenter.system_config_impl - INFO - feature ConvergeAPI is enabled.2019-05-01 23:33:23,552 - vcenter.system_config_impl - ERROR - Converge is already running.

The "converge_running_flag" file in /var/log/vmware/converge is present which causes the convergence tool to believe that a convergence is in progress.
As per part of the convergence process a backup should always be taken.
To resolve the issue: Log into the VCSA with SSH.Navigate to /var/log/vmware/converge.Move the "converge_running_flag" file back one directory: mv converge_running_flag ../ Remove the file /root/velma/task.json if exists rm /root/velma/task.json Perform the convergence operation again. Note: Reboot the VCSA and retry the convergence if you observe same error after performing above steps.
