Hello,
I have a cluster with two hosts and try to perform cluster upgrade 7.0U1 -> 7.0U1b using cluster image. While checking compliance, I get an error "Unknown error occurred when invoking host API"
In /var/log/vmware/vmware-updatemgr/vum-server/vmware-vum-server-16.log I see the following:

which is not very helpfu, unfortunately.
Most pieces of advice I found imply there is a connection problem, so I checked with netcat to make sure vcenter can successfully connect to ports 80 and 443 of esxi-hosts:
and vise versa:
Intrestingly, I had the same issue while upgrading 7.0 -> 7.0U1 and managed to resolve it with resetting update manager database as described in this KB Yet, it does not seem right to reset database every time I need an upgrade.
Could you kindly help me to resolve the issue? What do I miss here?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
