Explanation
AOS (Acropolis Operating System) must be updated to a supported and compatible version before performing Life Cycle Manager (LCM) updates. LCM is tightly integrated with AOS and depends on its APIs and framework to discover, stage, and apply firmware and software updates to cluster components. Running LCM on an outdated AOS version can result in compatibility failures, failed updates, or unsupported operations. While Foundation, AHV, and BIOS updates may also be managed through LCM, AOS itself is the foundational dependency that must be current first. Nutanix documentation explicitly lists AOS upgrade as the prerequisite step before initiating LCM inventory or update operations.
