Using VUM to upgrade host from 5.5 to 6.0

[BenLiebowitz]

Hi,

I'm trying to use PowerCLI to upgrade some hosts from 5.5 to 6.0.  I'm not sure if it's failing because, if you do it manually via Update Manager, it prompts you to accept the EULA?

get-baseline -name "HP ESXi 6.0 U2" | remediate-inventory -entity $VMHOST -confirm:$false

This is the code i"m using.  This works fine when I try to install normal patch or extension baselines, but with the Upgrade baseline I'm having issues.

The error says the hardware is incompatible, but I know that isn't the case.  Everything has been verified on the HCL.

Here's my error:

remediate-inventory : 5/2/2017 10:45:26 AM

Update-Entity

The

operation for the entity "VMHOST" failed with the following

message: "Hardware configuration of host VMHOST is

incompatible. Check scan results for details."

Anyone?

I remember seeing something similar in the past.
A reboot of the ESXi node fixed the issue then.

Did you already try a reboot before doing the Remediate-Inventory.nn

And perhaps you should upgrade to the latest PowerCLI version.
The Update Manager module is improved.

Btw the new cmdlet is Update-Entity

You're probably right on the reboot..  the host I was getting the error on turned out to have a hardware issue.  I just did another one and used the update-entity cmdlet and it's working fine now. 

Thanks!
