Veritas Update prompts to install Veritas System Recovery (VSR) 18 SP1 even when SP1 is already installed.

Problem

Veritas Update prompts to install Service Pack 1 (SP1) for Veritas System Recovery (VSR) 18 even when SP1 is already installed.

Error Message

Cause

This is only seen if SP1 has been installed using one of the following methods:

• New install of VSR 18 SP1 using the 18.0.1 install media (this already includes SP1)
• Original install was of VSR 18, then upgrade to SP1 using patch (https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100043468.html) was performed

Solution

If the version of VSR shows as 18.0.1.56582 (check this by going to Help--About in the VSR console), then you can safely ignore the prompt to install SP1.

NOTE: Even if you select the option to install SP1 in this scenario, the installation is blocked in the background as the installer will detect the the same version already being present.
