Is it possible/supported to "upgrade" from vCenter 6.0 on Windows to VCSA 6.0?

Hi,

Due to business requirements, I can't upgrade my vCenter 6.0 on Windows Server to VCSA 6.5 or later. Is it supported to "upgrade" from vCenter 6.0 on Windows to VCSA 6.0?

Thanks,

No, that's not supported. What is the reason you can't go to vCSA on 6.5? I'm always keen to know the blockers there.

Thanks, daphnissov

We have a lot of automation against the vCenter and at least one of the automation tools does not work with VCSA 6.5. The involved team needs time to find the alternative. Thanks,

Because it runs on the vCenter box directly?

Hi daphnissov

They don't run it on VCSA directly but from other hosts. The automation processes make extensive use of API calls and I was told there are major changes between version 6.0 and 6.5 which cause the tool being incompatible.
