Now even on slow internet connections, you can stage the patches prior to the update to reduce downtime.Īnd also, not every VMware patch requires a reboot, and you can see this in the notes of each patch whether a reboot is required or not. Over the years, VMware improved the patching process greatly. This is because everybody is using either the direct internet-patching option or the offline option. This method is still possible however, we don't use it much nowadays. Update and patch the VCSA via CLI (command line) ^ Now you can do something else because the process takes time to complete.Īt first, all the patches are staged (downloaded) to the appliance itself, and then the process will start. I will caution one thing though - be aware of of CBT issues if you use CBT enabled back up systems, it's possible you may have to re-enable, however really easy again with powercli.After doing this, the installation process will start. We did a straight jump from 5.5 U2 to 6.0.1 (Whatever the latest was in December) You can even automate it with PowerCLI like I did if you are good with code. Everything will be fine, make sure you use VUM to do everything, this will make life much, much easier. I'd like to go with the latest version (6.0 +) even though most of our hosts are ESXi 5.5 U2/U3, that should be a problem right? Should I shoot to get everything up to 6.0 or is it like before where you can stagger your versions back some?

Honestly, archive the DB if you're audited and do a brand new install. I am not sure where it is, but essentially you're exporting the DB and re-importing, targeting etc. If not, just follow the documentation on my.vmware. Yes, look up the VCA to VCSA Fling, this can assist. Is it possible to move things (dvswitches, database, etc) over? Caution though, your resource pools will come over grafted but folders won't, it's a pain in the ass to re do everything but it's still so much better then doing a migration/upgrade. Yep, we did a brand new installation and moved everything over cluster by cluster. I'm wondering if anyone else has made the move from Windows to Appliance and how did it go? Did you start fresh or try to move things over? Please message the moderators and we'll pull it back in. If you make a post and then can't find it, it might have been snatched away.
