      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Direct upgrade from ESX3.5 to ESXi5.0 is not supported. You have to do multi level upgrade to come to ESXi5.0&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;refer &lt;A href="https://www.vmware.com/support/vsphere5/doc/vsp_esxi50_u1_rel_notes.html#upgrading"&gt;https://www.vmware.com/support/vsphere5/doc/vsp_esxi50_u1_rel_notes.html#upgrading&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Just completed our upgrade from ESX 3.5 to ESXi 5.0. It was more of a migration though as all the installations were fresh. It was pretty easy though since all of our VMs are on a SAN. Just shut the VM down, attach it to the new server, upgrade vmware tools, upgrade the hardware, and your done (we also upgraded the NICs to VMXNET 3, which is optional).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
