cannot import esxi image 5.5 to update manager version 6.0.0

Hi All,

I am trying to upgrade my hosts through update manager from 5.1 to 5.5.Initially i thought to upgrade the host to esxi 6 so I upgraded vcenter server to 6.0 as well as update manager to 6.0. Now when i try to import esxi 5.5 image through update manager it throws an error " the uploaded upgrade package cannot be used with vmware update manager" but when I tried to upload esxi 6 image it goes smoothly. Can anyone throw some light on this issue.

Thankyou,

Bikash Sharma.

The minimum version required should match the version of the ESXi image you are trying to import.  If you are uploading the image 5.5 U3 you need to upgrade the Update manager to 6.0 U1.

Please check details  http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/sim/interop_matrix.php


Workaround : Update ESXi 5.5 U2 image.
