ESXI restore config error: Missing Manifest File

Reminder for self:

[root@localhost:/tmp] vim-cmd hostsvc/firmware/restore_config /tmp/configBundle.tgz force

(vim.fault.InvalidBundle) {

   faultCause = (vmodl.MethodFault) null, 

   faultMessage = <unset>, 

   text = "Missing Manifest File"

   msg = "Received SOAP response fault from [<cs p:06f94a48, TCP:localhost:80>]: restoreConfiguration

fault.InvalidBundle.summary"

}

The reason for this error is a different releaselevel in the Manifest.txt file

[root@localhost:/tmp] more Manifest.txt 

RELEASELEVEL=VMware ESXi 6.5.0 Update 2

UUID=00000000-0000-0000-0000-0secretnumber here

KERNELOPTS=no-auto-partition

USEROPTS=

change the releaselevel to the current release and try again!

To check the current releaselevel execute the following command:

[root@ESXI:/tmp] vim-cmd hostsvc/firmware/backup_config

Bundle can be downloaded at : http://*/downloads/{some-drive-here}/configBundle-ESXI.lan.tgz
