Error to upgrade ESXi 5.5 to 6 U1 with update manager

Hello,

i try to upgrade my ESXi Server from 5.5 to 6 with update Manager.
I get this error:
Unbenannt.JPG

The host can't reconnect.

A manually update works fine.

Why can't i upgrade the host with update Manager?


Thanks

Dennis

what is your vCenter version? Have you upgraded it to 6.0U1 already?

Thanks

can you paste/upload the log file when the host tries to connect back to VC . The logs from /var/log/vmkernel and /var/log/hostd.log will be useful. Is there VSAn configured. What was the esx 5.5 version from where it was upgraded

The logs are in the attachment.

VSAN is not configured.

Version of ESXi was 5.5 U2 (VMware-ESXi-5.5.0-Update2-2068190-HP-5.77.3-Nov2014.iso).

Now i try the update with "VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.0.0.update01-3029758.x86_64.iso".
Manually works fine only with UM is the problem.

In var/run i cant find any log files.

Only conf and pid files.

Before i uploaded the files i try manually reconnect the Server.
