Hi all,
I'm running in an annoying error during upgrading my HANA from 68 to 70.
The HLM troughts the following:
Error Message: Execution of 'Deploys SAP Host Agent configurations using adm credentials' failed.

I already tried to upgrade HLM via Studio (when it works once) from 1.0.6.1 to the latest version 1.0.7.2 - which if I believe the value on the upper right corner in the HLM window its 1.7.2 now - but an error occured during the setup. 
If I try to upgrade manually I got

I also upgraded the SAP Host Agent to the latest version without any error messages but the same errors occurs.
I'm realy running out of ideas. Does anyone solved a similar situation on the own server or has an idea how to get rid of the issue?
Thanks for comments.
