vCenter CLI升级JSON模板引号解析错误排查求助

错误根源分析 #

结合错误提示和你的JSON模板，存在3处明确的语法问题：

1. target数组元素缺少分隔符：第22行的"COLO Servers"后未添加逗号，导致数组元素无法被正确识别
2. 数组末尾多余逗号：第23行的"COLO Prod Cluster",末尾多了逗号，VMware的vcsa-deploy工具使用严格JSON解析规则，不允许这种尾随逗号
3. 多处键名引号格式不规范：模板中部分键名的闭合引号存在转义异常（如__comments、thin_disk_mode等字段的引号格式不一致）

关键片段修正 #

针对target数组的修正：

"target": [
    "COLO Servers",
    "COLO Prod Cluster"
]

同时需确保所有键名统一使用英文双引号，严格遵循"key": value的标准JSON格式。

验证步骤 #

1. 使用本地JSON解析工具检查模板语法，确保无格式错误
2. 重新运行预检查命令：vcsa-deploy upgrade --pre-check --template <你的模板文件路径>
