Upgrading to vCenter 5 and SRM 5

[esnmb]

I have vCenter running 4.1 with SRM 4 currently in place and working.  I would like to upgrade to vCenter 5.  Will SRM 4 work on vCenter 5 until I am able to upgrade that?

Hi,

SRM 4 wont work on vCenter 5.0

So before upgrading vCenter you will have to plan the upgrade very carefully so that any existing systems to not get affected.

So I would prefer you first to upgrade SRM to 5.0 and then upgrade vCenter to 5.0

Use below link for vcenter and SRM upgrade to 5.0:

I didnt realize you could use SRM 5 with vCenter 4.1...  I'm not sure why the consultants didn't just have us go to it in the first place!

Right.  I spoke to VMware support and they said I can upgrade vCenter and keep SRM 4 running until I am able to upgrade it...

Thanks!
