If your production vCenter is broken and you have a support contract, call support. I found them in /usr/lib/applmgmt/support/scripts.ĭisclaimer: I work at VMware, but I have no idea if the following is an “acceptable practice” or not. The next thing I needed to do was to figure out where the command line tools were hidden. I was already logged into the vCenter appliance shell as root. There’s probably even a way to restore one of those backups if something goes horribly wrong. I even double-checked and yes, my NFS server has files in the backup directory for each of the past 30 days and they have data in them. I finally decided to try upgrading via the command line. I tried a dozen different tricks, including ssh-ing into the appliance as root and editing the /etc/applmgmt/appliance/software_update_nf file, but nothing could enable the “Stage Only” and “Stage and Install” buttons. When I go to the appliance to do the upgrade, both “Stage Only” and “Stage and Install” are greyed-out and unselectable. If I run the pre-update checks I get “No issues found”. When I run Update Planner > Interoperability it reports that all of my ESXi hosts are running ESXi 7.0.1. I have vCenter 7.0 installed and I want to update to 7.0.
