Hi Andre,

Error got fixed after upgrading source vcenter VCSA6.0U2 to 6.0u3 and then initiating upgrade to 6.5.

JFYI...Both source VCSA and Target VCSA time were in sync and also update manager server where migration assistant was running.

Welcome to the Community,

Maybe Internal error occurs during execution of upgrade process" error when upgrading to vCenter Server Ap... helps!?

If not, provide more information like the upgrade log files.

A quick question: Did you already install the required Client-Integration-Plugin for the new version?

Nope...

Sorry, my bad. Forget about the Client Integration Plugin. It doesn't exist for v6.5 anymore, and was only required for previous versions.

What you may do is to check whether all prerequisites are met, especially time sync (the log complains about a missing NTP setting).

see Prerequisites for Upgrading the vCenter Server Appliance or Platform Services Controller Appliance
