While updating one of my vCSAs from Update 3j to 3l, the update process would abruptly stop at “Converting Data 80%”.
This status window would just disappear, no warning or failure messages. This occurred twice... Surprisingly, the partner vCSA in enhanced linked mode was built at the same time with the same version upgraded without issue.
The following 2 logs should be used to determine if the update was successfully completed:
1. /var/log/vmware/applmgmt/update_microservice.log

}
This appears to be a "cosmetic" issue and the upgrade completed successfully.
