Source Esx Agent Manager Configuration Contains Urls That Are Not Trusted by the System

Posted on by Jordansphere

During a vCenter patch from 8.0.1 to 8.0.2 the pre-check run displayed an error:

Source ESX Agent Manager Configuration contains URLs that are not trusted by the System!

This issue is noted in VMware KB93526. To fix the problem you will need to do the following

  1. Download the eam-utility.py file from KB
  2. Winscp the file the to the VCSA (I just left it in /root)
  3. Connect to the VCSA via CLI and go to shell mode
  4. Run the following command

python /path_to_file/eam-utility.py [URL]

eg

python /root/eam-utility.py https://10.58.1.1/bin/vdn/vibs-6.4.3/6.7-985293/vxlan.zip

Once I ran it for the three URLs in question, the error disappeared on the next pre-run check.
