Vmware 5.5 to 6 upgrade issue VPXD or VimPBSM

[jnord]

Has any one seen this issue when upgrading 5.5 to 6.0 u1. Looks like upgrade almost completes but then stop at Failed to stop Service VPxd.  it looks to be around import of the 5.5 config to 6.  When this happened you have to restore you system.

I also tried an older version GA  and got a different error Failed to stop service vimPBSM.

I have been working with support but we hit the wall on finding a fix waiting to hear back.

On my attempt to upgrade from 5.0.0 to 6.0 U1, I got most of the way through the installation (to:  Importing VMware vSphere Profile-Driven Storage Service Data; where is hung for about 40 minutes), then this error popped up:     Failed to start service vimPBSM.      When I clicked on OK, it gave me:   Status:  Install failed, performing rollback! Now, back to snapshots of vCenter server and database to recover! I think VMware has some work to do on the upgrade scripts!
