In this article, I am going to guide you how to fix the update now greyed now issue in vCloud Foundation.
After downloading bundles in VCF and running Pre-checks Upgrade Now greyed out
and there is no active task in the UI
there is a hidden running task that blocks Upgrade.
First, we need to check the SDDC database and the task. To do that, log in to your SDDC ssh with vcf account and su to become root . Then just run the following command with the root user: psql –host=localhost -U postgres -d platform -c “select * from lock”
As we can see in the above information task, the process was a password change that got stuck and was never appropriately deleted by the SDDC.
run this command to delete the entry from the table
psql --host=localhost -U postgres -d platform -c "delete from lock where id='39df38a4-e692-407d-8815-aadcf21036c3'
Update task ID before running query
Back to the SDDC Manager GUI, reload GUI, and Update now not greyed out anymore
I hope this article has been informative. thank you for reading.
