One thing not mentioned is that you will get prompted to enter SSO credentials during the upgrade process, but the CLI upgrade went smoothly.

I'll refer readers to your Disclaimer above - STOP and call GSS if you're experiencing this on a production system! In my case, GSS had me follow the procedure in to remove the software_update_nf file, then mount the full patch -fp.iso to my VCSA vm appliance, then staging the packages and upgrading in two separate steps via CLI as described here. William - It would be helpful to know what version your VCSA was at prior to the upgrade attempt to 7.0.2? I recently ran into this same issue when upgrading VCSA 7.0.1a to 7.0.1d.

I will update this blog post as I learn more from Engineering and if this workaround is official, I will ask the team to publish a KB and also mention this in the 7.0 Update 2 release notes. Once this operation completes, you should now have a successfully upgraded VCSA to 7.0 Update 2.

Software-packages install -url -acceptEulas Step 3 - Run the following command to install the staged 7.0 Update 2 software: Step 2 - SSH to the VCSA and remove /etc/applmgmt/appliance/software_update_nf file Step 1 - Login to the VAMI UI and under Updates, only select the 'Stage' option to download the 7.0 Update 2 updates. For those interested, below are the instructions to apply the workaround. I have personally not applied this workaround as I wanted to leave my environment in its existing state, in case VMware Engineering need to troubleshoot live. Several folks have shared with me a workaround that they have verified which requires the upgrading the VCSA using the VCSA Shell. The workaround below has only been confirmed by the community and should only be attempted on non-production or homelabs environment where you are comfortable with the workaround. I generated a support bundle and file an internal bug to have Engineering take a look.Дisclaimer: If you are currently facing this problem in a Production environment, please stop and file a VMware Support Request so that this can be officially tracked and you can have GSS reference PR 2732490. However, in this case it did not do anything and I still ran into the issue.ДЄt this point, I was not interested poking around or randomly removing files as I heard few other folks were running into this problem. There were also a couple of suggestions on removing the following state file /etc/applmgmt/appliance/software_update_nf on the VCSA filesystem which apparently was a solution that had worked. I even attempted to reboot the VCSA, maybe my environment had some issue but the results were the same.

I repeated this a few times and realize it was stuck in this loop. However, after hitting continue, I would be taken right back to the pre-check error as noted earlier. The upgrade seemed to have resumed and pre-check results passed as you can see from the screenshot below.

I normally use the 'Stage and Install' option and after accepting the EULA and providing the required credentials, the upgrade began.ДЄlmost immediately, it failed with the same error and the only option was to click on the Resume button which I did. Given the release had just GA'ed less than an hour ago and everyone was probably hammering the site, I figured I would wait and then try again. Joy вЂ¦ I just attempted to upgrade my VCSA (7.0u1c) in my personal homelab to #vSphere70Update2 and ran into вЂњException occurred in install precheck phaseвЂќ вЂ¦ /4mkvxHxdRl However, after starting my VCSA upgrade in the VAMI UI, it quickly failed with the following error message: Exception occurred in install precheck phase

Like most folks, I was excited about the release of vSphere 7.0 Update 2 and I was ready to upgrade my personal homelab, which was running on vSphere 7.0 Update 1c.
