Upgrade from ESXi 3.5 to 4 fails

I use update manager and added the .zip. The upgrade starts with maintanence mode and after a few minutes the host reboots, but it reboots into the old 3.5 version and i get an error saying "cannot upgrade firmware on specified ESXi host"...

????

I have now started all the VMs again and wonder what to do next? What could cause an upgrade to fail like this? I have done it at many other clients the exact same way and it always worked just fine??

Sorry for the late,

Are u still facing the issue?

if yes could you please upload vum-support logs which will be having upgrade errors.

(you can run vum-support logs by running start->VMware->generate update manager log bundle script)

Thanks
