Hey,
I'd love some help with this please!
I have 2 VCSA, an External PSC that I have updated to 6.0.0.30400, updated from 6.0.0.200 last night, and a vCenter running 6.0.0.5110 which I am trying to upgrade to 6.0.0.30400
The patches stage ok but I get the errors shown below when I install them.
The PSC had been on 6.0.0.200 for a while. My colleague had previously been battling with the vCenter which was on 6.0.0. I managed to get the vCenter up to 6.0.0.5110 last night. I tried more recent updates but it always fails.
df -h shows good space

I've rotated the log files '/etc/logrotate.d/logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf'
The only other solutions I have integrated are vRealize Operations Manager which is running 6.0.5571310
I've got the VMware-vCenter-Server-Appliance-6.0.0.30400-7464101-patch-FP.iso mounted
These are the commands I'm running:

I have another SSH session to the vCenter so that I can tail the /var/log/vmware/applmgmt/software-packages.log
Here is the end of /var/log/vmware/applmgmt/software-packages.log
