ESXi host upgrade using VUM quits after 22% and host becomes unresponsive

Hi all, i'm in the process of upgrading my site and just recently i came across two hosts that after 22% complete in the upgrade process stops responding to pings. I log in to the console of the ESXi host that is in question and i can see it has been upgraded and sitting as if it was fine, but can't ping at all and the process is stuck at 22% or 23%.

I am upgrading from ESXi 5.1 to ESXi 6.0 using VUM 6.0. i have been able to upgrade about 20 so far with no issues but these last two are having problems. I have tried the following

1. remove the host from domain membership

2. remove host from cluster

3. try upgrade from vCenter directly

I will continue to look for more information but i don't know what else to try at this point.

Regards.

Are there any hints in the VUM logs, or in /var/log/esxupdate.log on the ESXi host?

Cheers, Matt.
