Cause

The vCSA repository is pointing to latest released a vCSA 6.7 repository. Converge process using latest released RPM's from repository which is not compatible with vCSA installed version. Downloaded rpm's for converge not compatible with the installed vCSA version so first boots script fails.

Resolution

This issue is resolved in VMware vCenter Server 6.7 U3b, available at VMware Downloads .

Workaround

To resolve the issue:

Mount the same build ISO to do the convergence.

Change the repository.

Log into the VAMI page(https://vcsa_fqdn:5480).

Under the Update tab > Click on Settings and use the CD/DVD ISO for picking up the repository.

Take a snapshot of the vCSA.

Login to vCSA through putty.

Run the command to delete files from previous convergence attempt:

# rm -rf /root/velma/*.json
# rm -rf /storage/log/vmware/converge/

Run the convergence process again.

Note: See Download and Mount the vCenter Server Appliance Installer for UI Convergence
