I am running into an issue when upgrading from Appliance 6.0u3 to 6.5 - 75515524. Step one of deploying works just fine and it is able to copy the data from the source vCenter server to the target vCenter Server. However, I get stuck at 2% on "Starting VMware Authentication Framework". My install sat for about 2 hrs before I cancelled it. The estimate said it was only transferring 2GB of data. Eventually I cancelled the install and tried logging into the serve believing it was stuck. It would allow me to login, but would not display anything. Immediately I received the attached screen shot.
I started over, deleting the 6.5 VM and bringing up the old 6.0 VM. Ran through the upgrade process again, and am back to "Starting VMware Authentication Framework..".
Any ideas?
