Thanks Paul,
What about the easy way to upgrade to vCenter 6.5 from 6.0U2 ?

did you have vcenter running?
if yes, did that have an update and did you update that first?

Hello thanks for the Great video you have been a big help with my home lab. but i do have a problem :( after i upgraded from 6.5 to 6.5.0a everything seemed find besides vCenter. I had this problem before and i could not figure it out and i just reinstalled it to fix the problem but since this has happen again i would like to find a solution to this. I was wandering if you could help me out on this?

after starting up vCenter all i get is a login screen (See below). I can login with the root username and password but not sure what to do from there.

VMware vCenter Server Appliance 6.5.0.5100
Type: vCenter Server with an embedded Platform Services Controller
vCenter login:

i have waited for about a hour or so and i still cant login with the web browser. I get this error (See below)

503 Service Unavailable (Failed to connect to endpoint: _serverNamespace = / action = Allow _pipeName
