6.0 to 6.5 Upgrade Failure

[Ratchet2657]

Hi,

So I'm trying to upgrade from 6.0 to 6.5 U3 and I followed several articles and videos and booted to the ISO that I burned from myvmware account. The host is an HP Proliant ML350 G9.  I get to the first few steps, but then get this message and can't upgrade:

I've been looking at this article about VMFS datastores and not sure if this applies to my situation. Any ideas of what I need to do? This is the current version:

Looks like I have VMFS5

Hi,

looks like you selected datastore where vms and data’s are residing. Check ESXi install on SD card or local hard disk. Make sure during upgrade select the right storage where ESXi is install.

Hi,

There were different options during "Select a Disk to Install or Upgrade". Here is a screen shot:

I selected HP (6.55 TB), that's the local disk array where the VM's are located.  is it possible ESXi is installed on the HP (7.48 GB) and that is what needs to be selected.

You have to select 7.48 GB where esxi will be install or upgrade. Don’t select local disk 6.5TB to install or upgrade as all VMs will be lost.
