This is just a short post to mention an issue that I had today after applying an update to my Homelab’s vCenter server.

I applied the patch to take vCenter from 8.0 Update 3b to 8.0 Update 3c as I had a few updates to apply and saw that this one was waiting. The table below shows the details of these releases.

Release NameVersionRelease DateBuild Number
vCenter Server 8.0 Update 3c8.0.3.003002024-10-0924305161
vCenter Server 8.0 Update 3b8.0.3.002002024-09-1724262322

The vCenter update went through well and shortly afterwards I noticed some activity in the IaaS control plane. The vCenter update clearly triggered something.

I checked back in with progress of this task after some time and saw that an issue had been flagged up.

Checking the IaaS control plane release notes didn’t immediately suggest a resolution but I had noticed that during the vCenter update the vCenter server itself had not been restarted, so I decided to give that a try.

It worked! The errors were gone and the Supervisor cluster configuration completed.
