When I tried to upgrade within sddc manager I have the following message “SDDC Manager error – Update not possible while vcenter is in failed state.” I confirmed nothing is wrong in my vCenter so I will update the postgres database on sddc manager from error to active. This was done on VCF 5.1

ssh to the sddc manager
login in vcf user
su
psql -h localhost -U postgres
\c platform
select id, vcenter, status from vcenter;

id                  |
                                               vcenter
                                                              | status
