SDDC Manager Pre-check fails

Problem

SDDC Manager Pre-check "Upgrade Bundle Download Status" fails with an error

  • "Could not find bundle for SDDC_MANAGER upgrade to version 5.1.0.0-<build_number>".

Cause

From VMware Cloud Foundation 5.1 onwards, we are deprecating the Config Drift bundle. However, the previously released VCF versions expect that a config drift bundle will be applied as part of a target release and hence indicate this as a pre-check failure.

Solution

This pre-check failure can be ignored for VCF 5.1+, and it is safe to proceed with the upgrade despite this bundle pre-check failure.
