Upgrade and Installation Issues

• Post upgrade of vCenter Server Appliance 5.5 to 6.0 identity stores might be missing in vRealize Automation
  After you upgrade from vCenter Server Appliance 5.5 to 6.0, the identity stores contained in non-vsphere.local tenants do not migrate.
  This issue is resolved in this release.


• Policy tag and category merge during vCenter Server upgrade from 5.5 to 6.0 can cause a Rule-Set1 alert
  When you upgrade vCenter Server 5.5 to 6.0, policy tags and categories with case-insensitive names are merged incorrectly. For example, if a vCenter Server database has two tags in two categories with different cases before upgrade, such as 'One' and 'one,' with each tag belonging to a separate storage profile before the upgrade, the upgrade process merges the tags into a single tag and a single category, such as'One.'
  As a result of the case-insensitive tag and category merge, the storage profile which has the tag that was removed, such as 'one' in the example above, has a Rule-Set1 alert.
  This issue is resolved by fixing the dangling tags by adding the property pbm.fixPolicyTags = true in the pbm.properties file and restart the VMware vSphere Profile-Driven Storage Service.


• Attempts to install or upgrade to the vCenter Server Appliance 6.0 fails with error while configuring vSphere Auto Deploy Waiter First Boot

  Error while configuring vSphere Auto Deploy Waiter firstboot.
  Operation failed with error ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED (50)
  This issue is resolved in this release.
