migration ESX 3.02 to 3.5

[xybal]

Hi,

Is there any doc how to prepare and execute a migration from ESX 3.02 to 3.5 ? (I saw an RTFM but I can't manage to obtain it because the url is broken).

Is it also possible to migrate from 3.02 directly to ESX 4.0 ?

Thx

See http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3/r35u2/vi3_35_25_u2_upgrade_guide.pdf

Also, If going from 3.0.x to 4.0, I would highly recommend a rebuild.

To 3.0.x to 3.5 you have several way:

• RTFM

• use install CD and perform an upgrade

• use the update pack (from VMware Download site) and perform an online upgrade.

All operation are quite simple.

Some little problem only on upgrading VC2.0 to 2.5.

If Mike's site has a broken link you'd better use the file attached, which I downloaded the day it was released.
