on two machines that were running the same test at the same time (20 total), I have a failing and passing updatecli.log.
I guess there are no attachments here, but the two files were exactly the same except for the time stamps and the last few lines.
The last few lines of the successful update contains the output from "vamicli version --appliance". The failed log does not.
