Why do I get an error about an invalid version of Vulnerability Advisor being specified?

You tried to set Vulnerability Advisor to an invalid version, for example, version 3 in IBM Cloud® Container Registry, but version 3 is discontinued. You receive an error message, for example Invalid Vulnerability Advisor version 'v3' specified. Specify a valid version or, to list the available versions, re-run the command with no parameters.

When you try to set the version of Vulnerability Advisor to version 3 v3, you get the following message.

$ ibmcloud cr va-version-set v3
FAILED
Invalid Vulnerability Advisor version 'v3' specified. Specify a valid version or, to list the available versions, re-run the command with no parameters. See https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/Registry?topic=Registry-troubleshoot-va-version-error

You are trying to use a discontinued version of Vulnerability Advisor.
