Tanzu Operations Manager

• “Missing stemcell” shown for BOSH Director tile after upgrading Ops Manager to v2.10.46+ - There is a bug in Ops Manager versions prior to 2.10.46 that if the stemcell is upgraded first, then upgrading Ops Manager to a version that does not include that stemcell would fail.
