The following blog goes through downloading and uploading bundles to sddc manager so you can upgrade.

Download Bundle Transfer Utility

https://customerconnect.vmware.com/downloads/info/slug/datacenter_cloud_infrastructure/vmware_cloud_foundation/4_4#drivers_tools

EXTRACT FILE lcm-tools-prod.tar.gz

Create a folder in the same extracted directory one for the bundle and one for the manifest

Download manifest

Go to the bin directory in command prompt and type the below with your vmware account

.\bin\lcm-bundle-transfer-util –download –manifestDownload -depotUser testuser@gmail.com

Download the bundle

lcm-bundle-transfer-util -download -outputDirectory C:\temp4\4.4.1bundles -depotUser testuser@gmail.com -p 4.4.1

Upload the manifest to sddc manager

su into sddc manager and create the following folder “lcm-tool4.4.1” in /opt/vmware/vcf/lcm

Use mkdir lcm-tool4.4.1

Set the permissions for the lcm-tool4.4.1 folder

chown vcf_lcm:vcf -R lcm-tool4.4.1

chmod 750 -R lcm-tool4.4.1

Copy the lcm-tools-prod.tar extracted to sddc manager via winscp to the lcm-tool4.4.1 folder

If permission is denied change permissions on folder

chmod -R 0777 lcm-tool4.4.1

copy the manifest file to the lcm-tool4.4.1 directory on the sddc manager via winscp

On the sddc manager box change the permissions on lcmManifestv1.json

Login vcf

su

chmod -R 775 lcmManifestv1.json

chown -R vcf_lcm:vcf lcmManifestv1.json

On the sddc manager box change the permissions on lcm-tool4.4.1 (this will give permissions to the tool)

chmod -R 775 lcm-tool4.4.1

chown -R vcf_lcm:vcf lcm-tool4.4.1

Enter the bin directory for lcm-tool4.4.1 on sddc manager and run the following command

As a vcf user type

./lcm-bundle-transfer-util –update –sourceManifestDirectory /opt/vmware/vcf/lcm/lcm-tool4.4.1 –sddcMgrFqdn sddc-manager.vcf.sddc.lab  –sddcMgrUser administrator@vsphere.local

Upload bundle to sddc manager

winscp bundle directory “4.4.1bundles” to /nfs/vmware/vcf/nfs-mount

su into sddc manager

chmod -R 0777 /nfs/vmware/vcf/nfs-mount/4.4.1bundles

change directory to “cd /opt/vmware/vcf/lcm/lcm-tools/bin”

run the following command

./lcm-bundle-transfer-util -upload -bundleDirectory /nfs/vmware/vcf/nfs-mount/4.4.1bundles
