ESXi host and VCSA upgrade from 6.0 to 6.0 U2

vMware6.0 released after the use of VCSA users will find that 6.0 canceled the original 5480web management interface, to use caused inconvenience, so the VM company in 6.0 U2 version of the recovery of this feature, the following on the environment of VCSA and ESXi host upgrade introduced , upgrade ESXi before upgrading Vsca.

Upgrade VCSA

1. Based on the best practices recommended by the VM, VSCA is present in cluster as a virtual machine, first taking a snapshot of the VCSA to facilitate a rollback on an unexpected occurrence, and viewing the current version from the VMware Interoperability matrix for direct upgrade to U2

3. Attach the downloaded image to the VCSA virtual machine and open SSH access via the Vsca Dcui interface

4. Enter the SSH interface to run com.vmware.software-packages Install--iso--accepteulas command, the system will automatically upgrade, after completion will prompt restart VCSA

5. Run Shutdown reboot-r reason restart the virtual machine, where reason is the cause of the restart, in this case updata

6. Wait for the VCSA reboot to complete, then use the https://VCSAIP:5480, the familiar interface is back

7. After running for a period of time check no problem, delete the snapshot taken when the backup

Upgrade ESXi

1. Upload the downloaded upgrade patch (download method reference VCSA) to the storage, then locate the ESXi host to be upgraded and open its SSH interface

2. Turn off the host moniting feature on the cluster. be careful not to shut down Ha, because after Ha is turned off, configuration information such as admission control in Ha is lost, and then all VMS on the host that will be upgraded are migrated away

3. After entering the host into maintenance mode, remove the cluster

4. Log in to ESXi using the SSH terminal and locate the directory where the upgrade package is stored under/vmfs/volumes/

5. Run esxcli software vib install-d= "/vmfs/volmes/physical_path/updata_patch" command upgrade

6. Note that the path needs to fill in the physical path , in this case the virtual name of the shared storage is ISCSI_SDD, but the actual path is 56a983d9-95 ..., after the upgrade will require a restart

7. After the upgrade, the Dcui interface confirms that the version is upgraded, and then launches the host with maintenance mode. re-join HA, open host moniting feature, migrate VMS back

8. Check if the vmtools of the virtual machine needs to be upgraded, or if you need to upgrade Vmtools
