We have two question.
1) We are planing to upgrade Vcenter and EXSI from 6.0 to 6.7 so no currently we have Vcenter running with version 6.0.0 build 2656760
and 4 EXSI host running version 6.0 Build 2494585, so can i upgrade directly from current version to latest version VCenter 6.7 build 14367737
and EXSI host version 6.7 build 14320388, Please correct me if i am wrong.
2)To upgrade the Vcenter i can go in place upgrade right means i ll use the same current vcenter server and i ll start the upgrade process. Please correct me.
Your prompt reply will be highly appreciated as usual , Thanks

Hi,
first you need to update the vCenter:

then the Esxi hosts:

Hi
Please let me know if i migrate from windows Vcenter 6.0 to 6.7 VCSA appliance so i need to create additional VM with server 2012 and then i have to run the migration Wizard?
Please correct me
No, you don't need to prepare a VM.
The Migration wizard will create a new Linux based virtual appliance for you, and migrate the data (configuration plus optional data) from the current vCenter Server.
Keep in mind that the current vCenter Server will be shut down during the migration, so in case you do have other data/apps on it, you may need to migrate them off first.
Please take a look at the documentation, so that you don't miss one of the required migration steps.

Do mind that updating to 6.7 u3 (Build 14320388) may lead to non-working system (as in my case too - I had working 6.7u2) - esxi cannot boot after updating to 6.7 u3! how to fix it?
