    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is it OK to leave them on 6.5U1 long term I know its a supported configuration short term at least but dont know about long?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Answer:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;As you say, for the moment there are no problems. Keep in mind that Esxi 7 and vCenter 7 will be released soon. This means that version 6.5 is approaching the end of the support.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;However, you have enough time to plan a migration in peace.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Also as a bonus question does it matter which site I upgrade first?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;answer:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It doesn't matter which site you update first. What you need to do is always update vCenter first and then the Esxi hosts.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;On the internet you will find several tutorials that guide you step-by-step.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: 24px; font-family: sans-serif;"&gt;VMware Lifecycle Product Matrix &lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: 24px; font-family: sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="pastedImage_2.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/18566iB9BB6EF4705F294E/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="pastedImage_2.png" alt="pastedImage_2.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: 24px; font-family: sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="pastedImage_1.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/18565i5640B77DA2A1D7EA/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="pastedImage_1.png" alt="pastedImage_1.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: 24px; font-family: sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="pastedImage_3.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/18567iEFCBC15D15F58905/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="pastedImage_3.png" alt="pastedImage_3.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="tlid-translation translation" lang="en"&gt;&lt;SPAN title=""&gt;see Attachment&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;ARomeo&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <title>Is it OK to upgrade to vSphere 6.7 whilst leaving the hosts on 6.5 still?</title>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have a x2PSC and x2vCenter appliances running in linked mode accross two seperate sites.&amp;nbsp; I'm planning the upgrade now however my concern is our hosts (mainly IBM UCS M3/4 series B200 blades) dont have a 6.7 vendor imagine.&amp;nbsp; I dont really want to put us in a situation where either VMware or Cisco UCS wont support out configuration.&amp;nbsp; Is it OK to leave them on 6.5U1 long term I know its a supported configuration short term at least but dont know about long?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Also as a bonus question does it matter which site I upgrade first?&amp;nbsp; I will be proceeding with the Platform Services Controllers then the vCenter servers but not sure if it matters if I proceed with the large site or small site first. I dont believe linked mode runs as a primary or master config but could be wrong. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
