Update the Vsan HCL database offline

From Vsan 6.0, Vsan provides the Health check feature, which includes the Vsan HCL database, which verifies that the VMware Compatibility Guide database for HCL inspection is up-to-date. These VCG checks are not performed on the HCL on the VMware website, but rather on a copy stored on the VCenter Server. The initial version of the health feature is provided with a copy of the current HCL database that was released at the time. Over time, this database copy will become obsolete. This is especially true after adding new certifications to VCG partners. The hardware vendor periodically updates the driver, and VMware adds certification to those drivers. You may even remove the old driver from VCG to reflect the problem that was discovered. Therefore, it is important to keep the local copy as the latest version.

In the configuration of Vsan, you can see the date the HCL database was last updated, and there are two ways to update on the right, if your environment allows vcenter server to connect to the Internet, you can get the latest version on a regular network, if you don't allow networking in your environment, This time can be updated by offline files; The question is where is this offline database downloaded?
