Solving VCF Installer Download Verification failures

Validating a download in the VCF Installer apppliance can fail if the disk was out of space. This results in an error messages similar to this one:

09-02-2026 15:02:04  SddcMgmtDomain[5401]: [ERROR] Bundle download for bundle NSX_T_MANAGER failed. Please log in to VCF Installer (https://10.1.10.250) and resolve any issues causing bundle download failure.

Removing the mentioned downloads from VCF Installer GUI does not help, because the file stays in the appliance. Solve it purging the file from it via ssh.

  1. ssh from holorouter to vcfinstaller
# ssh vcf@vcfinstallera.site-a.vcf.lab
# su -
# rm /nfs/vmware/vcf/nfs-mount/bundle/depot/local/bundles/028849ee-d3e7-5748-9b90-47d503c6dd3e/028849ee-d3e7-5748-9b90-47d503c6dd3e/nsx-unified-appliance-9.0.1.0.24952114.ova
