As part of http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&e... , I am at step 7 where I enter credentials for the VMwareUpdateManagerUtility.exe. It just hangs and eventually errors out. I have copied the new SSL certificate files over. I get 2 different errors no matter what I try.
I gave up, uninstalled VUM from the admin server, re-installed it on the vCenter server, used 127.0.0.1 and finally got VUM with valid SSL certs. As part our design, we did not want to have VUM on the same server as vCenter but I was left with no other option.

Did you call support, were they able to offer any suggestions? I have the same issues and would really like to have VUM on a separate server
No, I spent way too much time on the vCenter 5.1 upgrades and got burnt out troubleshooting 10+ different errors across my vCenters and dealing with VMware support. For this VUM issue, I never tried again to run VUM on a non-vCenter server.
I agree this 5.1 implementation has been a real bear. I will probably be opening a SR today to see what the issue is.
