Then click Finish and start the upgrade process. If you are not so familiar with VMware EVC, you should take a look HERE Since we have in this cluster some HP G7, G8 and G9, the upgrade is informing that we should enable Enhanced vMotion Compatibility(EVC) in this cluster. In this case all VMs were power down, and hosts were already in Maintenance Mode) Next, check all the information and change what you need for your environment(like move VMs before the upgrade, etc. Next select upgrade Baselines and then select the proper Baseline(in this case we only have the one we have created ESXi 6.0, and all host will be displayed) and then click Next. Select the same Cluster again (or the host if you attached by host) click the Remediate button that is in the lower right corner. Click Attach buttonĪfter the Cluster/Hosts are attached to the Baseline, we will start the upgrade.

For this case is the one that we created while importing the ISO image, with the name ESXi 6.0. Then select the Baseline you want to attach. In this case, we choose to select the Cluster(and consequently all the hosts inside will be attached) Select your Cluster, or hosts that you want to attach to this Baseline(in this case the hosts that we will upgrade), then click Attach(upper right corner).

We go back to Host and Clusters and choose tab Update Manager. Wait until is finished with success.Īfter the import is finish, you need to create a Baseline(if you don’t any in the ESXi Images) that you need to attach to the hosts that will use this upgrade process.Īfter we upload the image and create the Baseline upgrade, we need now to attach now this new Baseline to our servers, or cluster. Just choose your ISO image and upload to VUM In our case, since these are HP hosts, I will add an HP ESXi image. Note: To use VMware Update Manager to upgrade or apply patches in ESXi hosts needs we need o use the vSphere Client tool and not Web Client(Web Client doesn’t have Remediate button) Choose “ESXi Images” Tab and click in “Import ESXi Image.” Connect to your vCenter using the vSphere Client Tool and go to VUM (Home – Solution and Applications – Update Manager) ESXi will not be able to reconnect to your vCenter until you upgrade your vCenter to the right version.ġ- Upgrade to ESXi using VMware Update Manager(VUM):įirst, we need to upload our ESXi 6.0 ISO file to our Update Manager so that VUM can use this image to upgrade our ESXi. So before you begin, check in VMware KB if your version needs a vCenter upgrade before any upgrade in ESXi. Information:Be aware that some ESXi versions, need a vCenter update before ESXi. Since I have taken this images in the production environment. Note: Before we start, again I need to inform that for security reasons, I need to erase some of the information in some images. We will explain both procedures in this article. We can upgrade using an ESXi ISO image directly boot the host and manually go through the process and upgrade the ESXi, or we can use the VMware Update Manager to do this automatically.
