Yesterday I had some time on my hands, noticed 6.5.0b for vCenter appliance was released, and 6.1.4 vdp was available.
Upgraded vCenter appliance no problem (from 6.5.0a). Then tried to upgrade 2 vdp instances to 6.1.4 from 6.1.3. Both upgrades failed (no errors, just failed around 80% stating I had to recover from snapshot). Also, after reverting, the vDP plugin is no longer loaded in the vCenter web interface.
I restored the vdp appliance from snapshot, restarted, still no vdp icon to access. I also removed the vdp from the mob interface, and tried to re-register the vdp appliance using vdp-configure. It failed on re-registering to the vcenter instance.
At this point, I decided to try to just re-create my vdp instances. I downloaded the 6.1.4 ovf file, deployed, and during vdp-configure it fails (tried 3 times, on two different datastore types iscsi/nfs).
I still had the 6.1.3 ovf, so I tried to deploy the older version, fails with the same errors as 6.1.4 is failing with.
Keep in mind I deployed 6.1.3 a month ago with absolutely NO issues. I'm wondering if this has something to do with vCenter 6.5.0b.
The errors when deploying brand new instances (both 6.1.3 and 6.1.4) are attached a screenshots.
As mentioned above, I tried both on NFS and iSCSI datastores (iSCSI datastores running VMFS6).
Anyone know anything about this?
