Update from 2.1.4 to 2.1.6 stuck after Kibana upgrade

Hello,
I am upgrading my Log Server environment to version 2.1.6 and I'm running into an issue I've never encountered before.
Two of my three nodes are stuck at a point after upgrading Kibana. They're just sitting there on the update script not progressing. It's been roughly 30 minutes since I started the process which typically takes me 15 minutes total.
I cannot access the GUI of my third node even though the upgrade seemed to go fine on that one.
I'm not sure how to proceed. Any guidance is appreciated!

If it is still stuck on this Kibana upgraded message, go ahead and terminate it with "CTRL+C" and then run the upgrade again:

I'm going to have to give you folks a call in the morning. It did finally finish, but my environment is hosed ATM.
I can't login and the CPU activity spikes up to normal levels after a reboot, but then immediately falls down to almost no activity. Logstash and elasticsearch appear to be running on all three nodes. Apache is running.
I have no idea what's going on, but it's not happy.

I left a voicemail with Nagios tech support about 30 minutes ago. I will need someone to give me a call back ASAP. Thank you!

So, all the shards/indices were about to be done... I was literally on 1 shard left and the entire system took a nose dive again.
I don't know what's going on, but I need more help again tomorrow please.

As far as I can tell, one of the other nodes decided it wanted to be master all of a sudden which caused a bunch of the shards to switch back to initializing. I rebooted one of the nodes that thought it was master and now I'm slowing bringing the shards back online.
I just hope what happened last night doesn't happen again. Is there anyway to assign a master?
