VDP upgrade issue (6.0 to 6.1.1)

Finally was able to get VCSA upgraded from 5.5 U3 to 6.0 update 1 after spending several hours on the phone with support.

I am trying to upgrade two different VDP instances from 6.0 to 6.1.1.  One upgrade has been running over an hour. The other upgrade has been running for slightly less than that.

Both are stuck at the package verification in progress screen. this may take a few minutes.

I have each upgrade running from a separate upgrade iso to avoid any file contention issues.

I have even restarted one of the vdp appliances to rule out the vdp appliance being up for a long period of time.

Still having the problem. 

Anyone else seen this problem ?

Hi Rnutter0,

Were you able to get this issue resolved on your own?

I am currently experiencing the same issue.

Thank you!

I am also having this issue.  I tried both mounting the ISO from a datastore, and from my local workstation -- no difference.

It turns out you can't "upgrade" 6.0 to 6.1.1, but you can Migrate.  Please see the articles/posts listed below for more information:
