Cause
RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines 5.x versions are only supported for vSphere 8.0.U2 (Refer to the Dell VxRail Simple Support Matrix for a VxRail release that can be used). LCM precheck was configured to block upgrades to unsupported 8.x versions when RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines 5.x is present.
Resolution
Refer to the Dell VxRail Simple Support Matrix or Engage Dell Customer Support to assist with any further questions and determine which VxRail release versions are supported with RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines 5.3.4.1.
