Unable to update ESXi host using newly created upgrade baseline using Lenovo ESXi 6.7U3 custom image

I have created a new host upgrade baseline using Lenovo ESXi 6.7U3 custom image and now when I try to update the host I get error message - "Cannot copy files to host data.host. Check the management service status, network connectivity with vCenter and disk space on the host.".

I checked the vpxa logs on the host and update manager logs in vCenter and I see the following warning

The update process goes till 92% and then it fails with error - "Cannot copy files to host data.host. Check the management service status, network connectivity with vCenter and disk space on the host."

How to fix it?

df -h.

Please restart the services on esxi host - hostd and vpxa

Are you able to upgrade the host using the command line rather than update manager . If yes

Reset the the update manager database
