Resolution

To check for this issue, use SQL Managment Studio to verify the SQL Logs for SQL Server. If this issue has occured you will see errors in the logs related to the transaction log for the VPC Database being full. If this is the case, you will need to re-do the upgrade after giving the SQL server more space.

Cause
