I'm running a VCSA with an external PSC (see specs at bottom of this post), and trying to "converge to embedded" via the web client; it fails after a few minutes with "VCSA.SERVERNAME could not be converged." (Replace "VCSA.SERVERNAME" with the name of our vcsa server, of course.)
Actually, yesterday it *started* to run. It said something about passing the pre-checks, but then got stuck at 8% for over an hour. I finally rebooted both the vcsa and the psc. Ran the convergence again, got the above error.
So I upgraded both vcsa and psc from 6.7.0.30000 to .31100 and tried the convergence again today; still get the above error.
Today I look in /var/log/vmware/converge at the converge.log, and the date is yesterday. I ran the convergence 3 or 4 different times, but this file never updates. I open the .log and the last lines say:
2019-06-19T19:33:30.652Z INFO converge Setting the converge running flag

Please wait ...

The only file in that folder that gets updated is the "converge_rest.log" file...here are the last lines in it:

Any help would be great!
