If I was using vCenter on Windows, I would backup up both it and the database server. We also need to enable SSH in that host too and on the old VCSA.īut, before we start, we make sure we have a backup of vCenter. The host name is the name of the host that is running the original VCSA. Since our old VCSA is in the cluster we are migrating our VCSA in, we need to put DRS in manual, and use a host name rather than vC – I will point that out later. Once it completes it looks a little different.

We will need to enter the password to our service account that is used by VUM. We need to double-click on the VMware-Migration-Assistant.exe as seen above. We need to copy the migration-assistant folder – indicated by the red arrow above – to the local hard drive of the VUM server. So on your VUM server you need to access the vSphere 6.5 bits.

And we need to do this before the upgrade / migration process. One we are ready to start, we need to prepare VUM.
Best practices for upgrading to VCSA 6.5 – kb article. Important information before upgrading to vSphere 6.5 – kb article – this is important as it talks about what is not yet compatible with 6.5 in the VMware products. #Daylite 6 upgrade install
Update Sequence for vSphere 6.5 – kb article – this is important if you have a complex install and are using many different VMware products. Release notes – Update Manager – found here. Release notes – vC and ESXi – found here. It is a very good idea to check the following docs during preparation for the upgrade. You don’t want to work on a problem that you think started with the upgrade when it fact it has been around for a long time. 
Also before we start I make sure that everything is working – in particular, I suggest you make sure your vMotion is working. Everything is patched or updated to current. I have also recently restarted my hosts – likely that is not needed any longer but in the past that helped avoid an issue when updating the hosts. There is no update yet for VIN – current is 5.8.5, so it is out. I like where possible to have everything at a build level where 6.5 support is not an issue.
1.1.150 – in fact there was an update outstanding on this to I did that update before continuing.
Dell OpenMange Integration for vCenter – 3. VMware vCenter Support Assistant at 6.0.2.1 build 4156172. I have one VCSA and 5 hosts in two clusters. VCSA is 6.0 U2 at build 4541948 as seen in the vSphere Web Client. I will keep in this article the problems I had in case it helps someone. After that I update the article with anything I learned and then finally I publish. BTW, I do this article, and then with it as a plan I do the upgrade. It is the VMware Infrastructure Navigator (VIN) and I find it most useful. It is here now but there is still one more tool of mine that is not 6.5 capable but I am tired of waiting for it. vSphere 6.5 is a big deal for me, and it has a lot of new stuff in it that I am looking forward to so I have been waiting anxiously for Update 1 for Veeam that supports 6.5. Now that I work at Veeam, and while I have used Veeam products for many years, now I need to work my lab like a Veeam customer. Yes, this has taken me a while to get too.
