Problems with upgrading from 4.2.1SV2(1.1a) to 4.2.1SV2(2.1)

Hi,

We are having problem with upgrading from current release to the latest release. Problem is that when we start the upgrade procedure for the VEM we hit at this error:

Upgrade VIBs: System VEM Image

Upgrade Status: Upgrade Errored in vCenter. Please check UpgradeError for more details.

Upgrade Notification Sent Time: Wed Sep 25 10:13:25 2013

Upgrade Status Time(vCenter): Tue Sep 24 16:58:34 2013

Upgrade Start Time: Wed Sep 25 10:13:39 2013

Upgrade End Time(vCenter): Wed Sep 25 10:14:00 2013

Upgrade Error: [VMware vCenter Server 5.1.0 build-1123961] vDS operation failed on host esx1.xxx.xx, integrity.fault.EsxupdateErrorUnhandledExceptionFault.summary got (integrity.fault.EsxupdateErrorUnhandledExceptionFault) exception. Cannot complete

a vSphere Distributed Switch operation for one or more host members..

Upgrade Bundle ID:

VSM: VEM500-201306160100-BG

DVS: VEM500-201306160100-BG

We found this problem and solution on one other forum, but it's not working in our case:

I have another question about Upgrade bundle ID. It says that version is:

Upgrade Bundle ID:

VSM: VEM500-201306160100-BG

DVS: VEM500-201306160100-BG

but we are having VMWare vCenter Server 5.1. We also noticed this in previous versions.

BR, Marko

We have successfully updated VEMs, based on the solution from forum:

The problem is that version from Internet is different (Date: 1.7.2013) than version from Cisco (Date: 20.6.2013) and you have to delete version from Internet and use version from Cisco.
