what do you mean gheist?
asfourcrystal,

Can you post some more details on your ESXi hosts type or the HP Blade hardware model ?
I mean that you need to check blades in vmware compatibility lists, the connection to electricity does not matter, if blade is compatible it will run ESXi with c7000, c3000, or single blade service header connection.
I think a three wait split, was warranted here at least, in the other comments, which built on my comment about the HCL which was not linked to, there is no mention of the other OPs Questions.
You are ABSOLUTELY WRONG.
ESXi 6.0 cannot be managed by vcenter 5.5, and your upgrading order will bring in unsolvable problems.

Though entusiasm should be awarded like this:
