“In this article, I will guide you through resolving the Cannot execute upgrade script on host issue.
While attempting to patch the environment through VCF, I received an error message stating ‘Cannot execute upgrade script on host.
The patch baseline created by VCF/SDDC was based on the ISO downloaded from the VMware repository in VCF.
I checked the logs in the VCF appliance under the /var/log/vmware/vcf/lcm/ directory, but found nothing that pointed to a solution.
The vCenter logs were not helpful either.
I checked VUA logs in the ESXi host and found some errors in the /var/log/vua.log

Solution
I modified the Precheck.py script to ignore VIBs found in the PACKAGE_COMPLIANCE.
Download the ISO from VCF/SDDC, extract it, navigate to the Upgrade path in the ISO, and edit the PRECHECK.PY file by adding the line highlighted in bold
def checkPackageCompliance():
# This is used by VUM to validate that the expected VIBs have been
# installed. Note that we only check the list of VIB IDs, not any other
# attributes (name, acceptance level, etc.) of the image profile.
expected = set(systemProbe.upgradeImageProfile.vibs.keys())
newvibnames = set([vib.name for vib in
systemProbe.upgradeImageProfile.vibs.values()])
issuevib = []
try:
bootbankdb = Database.TarDatabase("/bootbank/imgdb.tgz", False)
bootbankdb.Load()
try:
lockerdb = Database.Database("/locker/packages/var/db/locker",
False)
lockerdb.Load()
hostvibs = bootbankdb.vibs + lockerdb.vibs
except Exception as e:
log.error('Failed to load locker vib database: %s' % e)
hostvibs = bootbankdb.vibs
hostvibids = set([vib.id for vib in hostvibs.values()])
hostvibnames = set([vib.name for vib in hostvibs.values()])
# Log all vibs ids and unique VIBs from host and baseline
log.info('VIBs from host: %s' % str(sorted(hostvibids)))
log.info('VIBs from baseline: %s' % str(sorted(expected)))
olddelta = sorted([name for name in hostvibnames if not name in
newvibnames])
log.info('Unique VIBs from host: %s' % str(olddelta))
newdelta = sorted([name for name in newvibnames if not name in
hostvibnames])
log.info('Unique VIBs from baseline: %s' % str(newdelta))
# Now scan to check versioning/replaces.
allvibs = VibCollection.VibCollection()
for vib in hostvibs.values():
allvibs.AddVib(vib)
for vib in systemProbe.upgradeImageProfile.vibs.values():
allvibs.AddVib(vib)
scanner = Scan.VibScanner()
scanner.Scan(allvibs)
# Each VIB in expected must either be on the host or be replaced by
# something on the host.
for vibid in expected:
vibsr = scanner.results[vibid]
if vibid not in hostvibids and not vibsr.replacedBy & hostvibids:
issuevib.append(vibid)
except Exception as e:
msg = "Couldn't load esximage database to scan package compliance: " \
"%s. Host may be of incorrect version." % e
log.error(msg)
# Scan did not succeed, make the error as an issue so the host will
# not be marked compliant incorrectly.
issuevib.append(msg)
issuevib = []
# If found >= expected is true, then everything in expected is also in
# found. (If there are extra things in found, we are still compliant.)
result = Result("PACKAGE_COMPLIANCE", issuevib, [],
mismatchCode=Result.ERROR)
return resultSave the file, create a new ISO, and upload it to VCF (how to upload a custom iso)
