Hi ,
I am planning to upgrade vShield Manager to NSX 6.2.2 , what all precautions I need to take care of.
Any help would be appreciated.
If your setup is having only vSphere with vShield combination , you can follow below steps to upgrade the environment and be aware of the requirements
Based on the NSX use cases what you are planning to have and if you are sure some of the features like (Guest Introspection) is not required , you should uninstall those features and move forward with components/features that really require upgrade to retain the configurations. Ensure to take a backup of vCenter and vShield Manager prior to upgrade. An before proceeding with (Step 2-7) take a new backup of the upgraded NSX instance.
Upgrade vShield Manager to NSX Manager
Also do note that , there are few features that doesn't support direct upgrade(This is specific to NSX)
NSX Services That Do Not Support Direct Upgrade
NSX 6.2 is already End-of-Support since 2018/08/20 and EoL will be at 2019/08/20. I would therefore recommend upgrading to NSX 6.4.5 if your other VMware products supports this version. You can check the product compatibility here: VMware Product Interoperability Matrices
But as far as I remember, it is recommended to upgrade to version 6.3.3 first, because there are significant changes in the VIB behavior and the operating system of the NSX controllers.
