Hi,
I have 4 ESX hosts, 3 are running v.3.0.0 and 1 is running v.3.0.1 My Virtual Center Server is at v.2.0.1 They are NOT connected to a SAN, all the VM's are hosted on local drives. These are HP DL380 servers.
I wanted to know what the upgrade order/process would be? Would I have to upgrade my 4 ESX servers to v.3.0.2 to be compatible with VCS 2.5, then upgrade my Virtual Center to version 2.5, followed by upgrading my 4 ESX servers to the final version 3.5? I've been using ESX for over a year and love the product however, I hate to say I didn't keep up with the updates. Again, all the VM's are located on local disks on each ESX Host. Thanks for any help.
