This should be a pretty straight forward task.
- plan for a maintenance window
- verify compatibility with the event database server version
- prepare your golden images with the new agent version.
- disable provisioning
- upgrade Composer (if one exists)
- upgrade the connection, and security servers by following the steps in Upgrade Security Servers and Their Paired Connection Servers
- enable provisioning
I assume that you have a backup, and documentation for the settings in case something goes wrong.
I have two questions, if you don't mind:
- Why do you plan to upgrade to 7.11 instead of 7.13? Version 7.13 not only has longer support (10/22 instead of 03/21 for v7.11, see https://lifecycle.vmware.com/), but also includes Instant Clones in all editions, which may be helpful in case you have the Standard edition licensed.
- Any reason why you don't switch to UAG instead of using Security Server?
Note that both, Security Server as well as Linked Clones are deprecated, and will not be available future versions anymore.
