VMware upgrade error

I have dell poweredge R520 and upgraded all the bios and drivers on it. It had esxi 5.1 U1 installed. I tried the below command to install 6.5 and gave me error:

esxcli software profile update -p ESXi-6.5.0-20170404001-standard -d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml

 Please refer to the log file for more details.

So I used below command to install 6.0 and it went successful:
esxcli software profile update -p ESXi-6.0.0-20161104001-standard -d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml

Please list solution to fix it and how to upgrade to 6.5?

Thanks.

I already upgraded to 6.0 and they are production servers.  But why it didn't upgraded to 6.5?
1. So to upgrade to 6.5, I have to download from dell.com/support the ISO and burn it to the CD, boot and upgrade, correct?

2. I see this file at dell.com: VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.5.0-5310538.x86_64-Dell_Customized-A03.iso, is it 6.5 or 6.5 U1 or U2?
