I'm trying to stage missing updates/patches to our Two ESXi6.0 Hosts and am receiving the following error:
Stage patches to entity XXXXXX.XXX.local The host returns esxupdate error code: 15. The package manager transaction is
not successful. Check the Update Manager log files and esxupdate log files for more details.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Have a look at this kb:
Describes your issue and how to resolve that.
Thanks for the KB on how to resolve. I've enabled SSH but can only log into the VCS console, or physically on the GUI setup page of each of the hosts. When I try to access the 'console' for each of the HOSTS it's always denying me access.
Did you try to access of the ESX with root user?
Yes I did, user was root. The passwords that I was using to access the GUI locally on the Hosts should be the same as the 'console' but it keeps denying me access.
Can you check whether the firewall is blocking ssh?
You are enabling the ssh as mentioned below:
Enable SSH on VMware ESXi 6.x - VirtuBytes
Dear Grummangy
Pleas find the below KB for "esxupdate error code 15" error after patching an ESXi host.. Try this and update,
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2016147
Can you please select ESXi and go to update manager, select baseline and see if there is any software vibs showing not available for update.

Unfortunately, as stated above, I am unable to log into the individual host consoles to run any commands against the VM OS's
