The new appliance will collect all settings from the previous VCSA and take over its role.
UPGRADE VCENTER 6.5 TO 7 UPGRADE
Read and accept the EULA and click ‘Next’.ĭuring the Upgrade process we’ll deploy a new VCSA 7.0 with a tempoary IP address. In my case it was VCSA 6.7U3 to 7.0 with embedded Platform Service Controller (PSC) which is fully supported. Note that there’s no direct upgrade path from VCSA 6.0 to VCSA7. The most common use case is an upgrade VCSA 6.5 or 6.7 to VCSA 7.0. Restore – If you’ve lost or messed up your VCSA 7.0, this is the way to restore it.Windows vCenters are no longer supported. Migrate – Cross migrate a Windows vCenter to VCSA.Upgrade – To upgrade an existing vCenter appliance.
UPGRADE VCENTER 6.5 TO 7 INSTALL
Install – This is for greenfield setup.For setup from Windows start the installer.exe in subfolder win32. Navigate to folder vcsa-ui-installer and choose your operating system (lin64, mac or win32). Mount the VCSA ISO file to your Windows, Mac or Linux workstation. You also need to have new license keys for vCenter, ESXi and vSAN (if yor cluster is hyperconverged). I guess it’s just a matter of time, because the VMware Nano-Edge cluster is based on that hardware.īefore we can start, you need to download the vCenter Server Appliance 7.0 (VCSA) from VMware downloads (Login required).
Don’t do this in production!Īlthough my Supermicro E300-9D is not yet certified for version 7.0, it works like a charm. But it’s a homelab and if something breaks I don’t care to rebuild it from scratch. On the day I’ve upgraded, vSphere7 was brand new and there were just a few entries in the HCL. Just because your system is supported under your current vSphere version, doesn’t mean it’ll be supported under vSphere7 too. I cannot point that out enough: check the VMware HCL. The VMware Design team did a very good job with the UI. The workflow is straightforward and very easy. Recently I’ve upgraded my homelab from 6.7U3 to vSphere7.
