Greetings. I recently had the same issue in my environment.
A couple of things to consider:
1- Ensure that your Lifecycle Controller/iDRAC/BIOS are up to date (Check the Vcenter Plugin release notes for exact versions)
2- Use CIFS instead of NFS share for the Bundle download folder. Then the issue we found is that it requires a “folder” name in addition to the share name when specifying CIFS share ( i.e. \\ip\sharename will not work but \\ip\sharename\folder will work .
Let me know if this helps.
