Hardware Version Upgrade

[pamiller21]

I am looking for a script to schedule hardware version upgrades and will upgrade regardless if I reboot the VM from the vSphere console or the guest OS reboots on its own.  Any suggestions?

Thank you LucD for this. This was of great help to my company.

Am I missing something here on this?

Looks very successful right? No errors, however both a restart and/or power cycle did not upgrade the HW, but if I right click and select schedule upgrade and restart seems to work just fine.

I'm upgrading from a 5.0 (version 😎 to a 6.0 (version 11), did I do something wrong?

Are you supposed to change the upgradepolicy from "never" to "always" or ?

Thanks!

I think the UpgradePolicy = Never might be causing that.

Try changing that to 'onSoftPowerOff'

Believe that did the trick, I sampled three vm's and see the box for compatibility upgrade is indeed checked so next reboot that should happen, thanks for all your help
