I am getting ready to upgrade our 3.0.1 farm to 3.0.2. I have all the needed components, have all my steps documented, etc. What I would like to know is: Is it recommended to disconnect the HBAs from the switches before performing the upgrade? Are there any remote datastore components that need to be 'touched' by the upgrade, other than locally-based config files? All VMs will be migrated to other hosts before the upgrade, obviously. Virtual Center will be running at 2.0.2 as well... Also, is it recommended to use the CD vs 'esxupdate' from the extracted tarball? I'm comfortable with the cmd-line having patched many hosts manually, installing HP Insight Agents, etc. I know there are probably threads that touch on a few of these points, but any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your input. -Nate
