vRA 7.6 Patch 18

-

As it seems every week now VMware releases a hotfix for vRA7.6

https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/70911

Installing these usually go rather smoothly, but today we ran into a smaller issue.

Installation got stuck at
rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs /usr/lib/vcac/patches/repo/cafe/patchRpms/*.rpm

We tried to manually update the packages and found there was a transaction lock

warning: waiting for transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/__db.000

This can be fixed by rebuilding the RPM database.

rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db.00*
rpm --rebuilddb

Now we were more or less ready to revert to snapshots and restart the whole process when I noticed there is actually a retry option, previously when patches failed we had to restart the whole process. 

Cheers VMware that was useful

Your reasons for this validation to fail ....." ,      "statusCode" :  400 ,      "errorCode" :  30058...

To a lot of vRealize Automation 6-7 Managers moving to vRealize Automation 8 is a rather large adaptation of new skillsets. What we have currently been looking at is adapt the new Event Topic model. And there is a lot of Event Topics to follow, but I still feel something is missing.
