SDDC Manager upgrade compatibility Failed

In this article, I am going to guide you how to Disable the upgrade compatibility checks

after upgrading SDDC Manager getting following errors

2 Errors

Cause

As part of the VCF 5.0 release, there is a new feature that allows users to indefinitely upgrade their SDDC Manager to newer releases, without having to upgrade other BoM components on the system (namely NSX, vCenter and ESXi).

This is contingent on whether or not a target SDDC Manager version is compatible with said BoM components.

If the compatibility data sets are malformed or in an incorrect format the SDDC Manager will not be able to compute compatibility checks. As a result, if the BOM versions found on the system can’t be mapped to versions found in the compatibility data, upgrade availability can’t be computed. This will cause the upgrades to be blocked.

To disable the upgrade compatibility checks, follow the steps below

SSH into SDDC Manager appliance with the vcf user, su to root

Edit /opt/vmware/vcf/lcm/lcm-app/conf/compatibility.flag file

vi /opt/vmware/vcf/lcm/lcm-app/conf/compatibility.flag

Update the property “vcf.compatibility.controllers.compatibilityCheckEnabled” to false

Save and close the file

Restart Lifecycle Management by running the command

systemctl restart lcm

Then we are able to continue the upgrades
