upgrade --firstdisk=local --forcemigrate not found

I am trying to kickstart and upgrade an esxi 5.1 host to 5.5 but the disk that has the esxi 5.1 installation is a boot from san disk

I tried using this in my kickstart file

upgrade --firstdisk=local --forcemigrate boot from san

but the installer does not recognize firstdisk

Hello, Since it's an FC LUN, you may have to use "remote" as value to --firstdisk option.

upgrade --firstdisk=remote should work.

If you boot from the ESXi installer (with out using kickstart file), do you see the iSCSI LUN ? If yes, is it listed under local or remote section ?
