If your VCF SDDC deployment does not have Internet connectivity you can manually download update bundles on another machine and import it afterwards.
Here are the necessary steps on a Windows workstation.
First use Putty to connect to the SDDC manager as user “vcf” and the password set in the cloud foundation deployment parameter spreadsheet (red circle in the image above) and run the following commands:
cd /opt/vmware/vcf/lcm/
su
[enter root password; see green circle in top image]
mkdir bundleimport
chown vcf:vcf bundleimport
exit
cd lcm-tools/bin/
./lcm-bundle-transfer-util --generateMarker
Create a folder on your windows machine (e.g. “C:\…\bundleupdate”) and copy the remote files “markerFile” and “markerFile.md5” from “/home/vcf/”, as well as the entire “/opt/vmware/vcf/lcm/lcm-tools/” directory structure using WinSCP. In that folder create another subfolder; In my case I called it “downloadedBundles”.
Make sure you have a current version of Java (JRE) installed.
Open a command prompt and run the following the commands: (when asked enter your my.vmware.com password)
cd C:\...\bundleupdate
./lcm-bundle-transfer-util -download -outputDirectory C:\...\
bundleupdate\downloadedBundles -depotUser {your my.vmware.com username} -markerFile C:\...\bundleupdate\markerFile
-markerMd5File C:\...\bundleupdate\markerFile.md5
After the download is completed unplug your internet cord and connect to your VCF deployment once more. Using WinSCP copy the content of your local folder “C:…\
bundleupdate\downloadedBundles” to “/opt/vmware/vcf/lcm/bundleimport”. Then use Putty again to run these commands:
cd /opt/vmware/vcf/lcm/lcm-tools/bin
chmod -R 777 ../../bundleimport
./lcm-bundle-transfer-util -upload -bundleDirectory /opt/vmware/vcf/lcm/bundleimport
