VCF on VxRail: Skipped VxRail Cluster Upgrade Required Patch Binary:XXXXX is Not Available

A VxRail cluster upgrade from 5.0.x to 5.1.x/5.2.x or from 5.1.x to 5.2.x fails with an error message:

"Skipping VxRail cluster upgrade required patch binary: VPTWN _VxRail-8.0.300-Composite-Upgrade-Slim-Package-for-8.0.x.zip is not available. The file /nfs/vmware/vcf/nfs-mount/bundle/VPTWN _VxRail-8.0.300-Composite-Upgrade-Slim-Package-for-8.0.x.zip does not exist."

From the UI, the error message below is displayed:

The VxRail 8.0.100 to 8.0.2xx or 8.0.3xx upgrade requires an upgrade bundle that is not supported by VCF 5.1.x/VCF 5.2.x.
 

There is no resolution to this issue.

The script and manual steps below are a workaround.

Follow the steps in the Broadcom article: 323978
This includes: 

1. Manually downloading the required bundle which is for 8.0.x from the Dell website
2. Manually create a checksum file
3. Run the provided script to copy and rename the packages manually downloaded. Copy the checksum files, and then move them to the correct paths and grant the correct permissions.

The following is a guide on how to manually create a checksum file:

• To create a checksum file, use the following KB VxRail: How to check checksum on downloaded upgrade package in Windows if using windows. 

  1). Obtain the checksum value using below command:
  
  # sha256sum VPTWN_VxRail-8.0.300-Composite-Upgrade-Slim-Package-for-8.0.x.zip
  
  537152b2c046e88b6a0e1b7bb18ae2cac4a3642c210e22e5b0aa447c7878015d VPTWN_VxRail-8.0.300-Composite-Upgrade-Slim-Package-for-8.0.x.zip
  
  2). Create a file and add this checksum value to this file using vi command under /home/vcf:
  
  # vi VPTWN_VxRail-8.0.300-Composite-Upgrade-Slim-Package-for-8.0.x.zip.checksum
  
  3). Verify this value and then proceed with the upgrade.
  
  # cat VPTWN_VxRail-8.0.300-Composite-Upgrade-Slim-Package-for-8.0.x.zip.checksum 537152b2c046e88b6a0e1b7bb18ae2cac4a3642c210e22e5b0aa447c7878015d

   
  Note: This has been fixed since VxRail 8.0.320
