VMware vSphere

Hello

What is the recommended attitude towards VM hardware version upgrades on the VCSA?

Should you upgrade to latest version or let it be (and why)?

I know that the features/resources available in newer versions will never really be needed for the vCenter.

But on the other hand - why not, if nothing breaks?

And the exclamationmark (1 missing) in the update manager bugs my eyes :smileylaugh:

Check if the following VMware KB article helps:

Upgrading a virtual machine to the latest hardware version (multiple versions) (1010675) | VMware KB

Thank you for the helpful article - I was not able to find this info when searching for it.

So it seems that:

• It is not possible to upgrade VM hardware of VCSA.
• VMware does not recommend upgrading VM hardware unless you need the features.

VMware do not suggest to upgrade the VM HW and VMware tools on the appliance as it may break the VC.

I agree with not updating the VM hardware for the vCSA.
