VSCA 6.0u3 Upgrade Question

Sorry for the newbie question, but I'm performing an update to our VSCA from u1 to u3. Are there any precautions I need to take prior to installing the update, such as shutting down VM's, putting hosts in maintenance mode, etc.? Or can I just run the upgrade while everything else is running?

Thanks in advance,

Chris

You can do it while VMs are running, but I'd recommend some basic precautions before running the update including having a full, standalone backup of your vCSA as well as snapshotting.

Hi ,

You can do VCSA upgrade without any downtime on VMs or ESXI hosts .

You may do it by online - > internet connection required  on vCenter

offline - Download and upload the update ISO from vmware website and do upgrade .

After upgrade , you have to reboot the vCenter
