Failed to install vcenter server appliance 6.5 on ESXi host 6.0 due to failure of first boot

Hi, experts,

I plan to update vcenter server from 6.0 to 6.5 with vcenter server appliance 6.5. But it failed in firstboot.

The error message is showed as below. Does anyone know why this error happened and how to fix it? Thanks.

What I know is this error happened when it ran command:

/usr/lib/vmware-vmafd/bin/vdcpromo -u Administrator -s default-site -h x.x.x.x -d vsphere.local
