https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/76805

However this KB does not make it very clear on how to get the bits. Basically you need 2 (two) patches.

  1. vRSLCM (Life Cycle Manager)
  2. vRA

Assuming you deployed vRA8 via LCM (vRSLCM), you need to patch LCM first.

If you have internet access you can then download and patch vRA
or if you want or need to do offline patching. Download the vRA patch and patch via either LCM or vRA.
Then upload the vRA patch
