Mismatch of vCenter version between CLI and VAMI

CLI NOT showing same BUILD ID as what is showing in vCenter VAMI.

by running vpxd -v to get version

and login to VAMI to verify vCenter version.

Solution:

cd /storage/core/software-update

1. Take a backup before doing any manual workaround (For ALL vcenter is case there is a link mode activated)

2. Try update again, just performing stage for 7.0.3.01000 would do as well.(It’s fine if it fails).

3. Stop all the services.

3. Go to “/storage/core/software-update/updates/7.0.3.01000/scripts/patches”, and run  – “python3 PatchRunner.py patch -d /storage/core/software-update/updates/7.0.3.01000/patch_runner”.

4. After above step passes, change the “build”, “version”, “name” field in “/etc/applmgmt/appliance/update.conf”, and “/etc/vmware/.buildInfo” to match with the details for 7.0.3.01000.

5. Reboot the system, and should be fine.
