I was able to finally get it to succeed by giving it 8vcpu and 16gb ram. (it only had 2vcpu and 12 before)
It has however still not told me its done in the 5480 UI. It gives me the error: "Update installation is in progress" when trying to login in.
Logs show this:

and the file /etc/applmgmt/appliance/software_update_state.conf says :
{
"state": "INSTALL_IN_PROGRESS",
"version": "7.0.1.00000",
"latest_query_time": "2020-10-20T00:08:43Z",
"operation_id": "/storage/core/software-update/stage_install_operation"
}
I am assuming changing this state value to something else will allow log in again.
Any ideas what "state" should be when install is finished?
Rebooting it does not seem to reset this value.
