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
