Thanks Andrew! &nbsp;I can only do this late at night and don't have physical access to the host, so I will fix the problem so I can do it remotely.<br />
<br />
Much appreciated...<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
I got an error when I tried upgrading the production host from 5.5 to 6.0 using the vSphere client VUM. &nbsp;I successfully upgraded a backup host with the same upgrade package a couple days ago. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I looked through the esxupdate.log file but nothing jumped out at me. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I was able to restart all VMs with no issues.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?<br />

esxupdate.log

Hi,

I got an error when I tried upgrading the production host from 5.5 to 6.0 using the vSphere client VUM.  I successfully upgraded a backup host with the same upgrade package a couple days ago.  

I looked through the esxupdate.log file but nothing jumped out at me.  

I was able to restart all VMs with no issues.

Any ideas?

Got esxupdate error code:15 on upgrade attempt from vSphere 5.5 to 6.0 using VUM

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
