I had a miniature test lab consisting of 1 host and 1 vCenter 6.0 appliance. When I installed the VCSA on the host I was suddenly unable to connect to the console of the VMs I had previously created.
When I connected via the ESXi host I was presented with the following message:
Unable to connect to the MKS: Internal Error
When I tried via the console in vCenter I was shown this message:
Failed to initialize SSL session to remote host
Looking at the logs of the VM I could see the following output:
# less /vmfs/volumes/56b1beee-dc96c552-bd58-002590e909a0/MJ-VM1-2012R2/vmware.log

This seemed to be an SSL error.
To fix the issue I simply suspended then powered on the VM
