SSO on the same HB machine

[DavideAFK]

Hi, i'm looking for an official guide or tecnical paper, to upgrade vCenter 5.0 to 5.5 and HB from 6.4 to 6.6.  I'll try to explain my configuration:

2 phisical nodes with Heartbeat, vCenter and the SQL db on SAN

i would like to know if there is an official best practice for the installation of SSO on the phisical nodes of  HB. The VMWare guide that i found says:

https://www.vmware.com/pdf/vcenter-server-heartbeat-66-installation-upgrade-windows-2008-2012-physic...

"Before attempting to upgrade from vCenter Server 5.0 or 5.1 to vCenter Server 5.5 you must install vSphere Single Sing-On 5.5 component separately on a different machine (not the primary o the secondary node) and then protect SSO on the separately machine with vCenter Server Heartbeat"

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi,

check this post.

Re: Upgrade to vCenter 5.5 with Heartbeat

I would recommend building a new vCenter Server installation.

You could point to your existing database.
