Issue/Introduction

  • Clusters managed by SDDC Manager should NOT be transitioned from vSphere Lifecycle Manager Baselines (VUM) to vSphere Lifecycle Manager Images (vLCM) directly via vCenter UI / APIs.
  • Clusters in the Management domain or any workload domains should NOT be transitioned from VUM to vLCM directly from vCenter UI / APIs.
  • Performing transition via vSphere will impact the following SDDC Manager workflows.
    • Stretching of vSAN clusters will be blocked.
    • ESXi upgrades will fail.
  • If a user wants a vLCM cluster, either create a new vLCM based Workload Domain and create a vLCM cluster or create a new cluster in already existing vLCM based Workload Domain from SDDC Manager.
