Hi, Couple of questions to help with my upgrade prep...
- Can I upgrade directly using Update Manager 5.0 from ESXi 4.1 (582267) to ESXi 5.0.0 Update 2 (914586) ?
or
- Do I need to upgrade to ESXi 5.0 (923238) first and then to ESXi 5.0.0 Update 2 (914586) ?
As precaution: Should I disable the iscsi software adapter, remove the storage before I upgrade - then once upgraded enable and bind the nics to the adapter and rescan the storage? Or will Update Manager keep the config (especially the port binding)
So far my high level picture is looking like this:
- Add Existing 4.1 host to new vcenter 5.0
- Attach the 5.0.0 Update 2 (914586) Baseline to update manager
- Scan Host
- Remediate Host
- Reboot
- Check Config (license / port binding / networking / DNS routing etc)
- Finish.
Am I missing anything...
Thanks in advance
