Upgrade of esxi4 to esxi5

[mburguk1]

I would like to ask the question about when you upgrade from esxi4 to 5 using update manager is it best practice to remove fibre connectivity so there can be no issues with the vmfs datastores

Thanks

You are most welcome. If it helps, I'm used to use Update Manager and never disconnected the storage for that purpose. Never had a problem...

This video is good.
