Hi All,
I need the quickest and the easiest way to patch Center appliance (VCSA) that is configured with High Availability (HA).
Since there are three VM nodes (Active, Passive and Witness).
However, I got confused in the steps #4 between https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.7/com.vmware.vsphere.avail.doc/GUID-10E2660C-B0AD-4C1C-A... or https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.7/com.vmware.vsphere.avail.doc/GUID-5F7DAFB2-60BD-4C50-A...
Any help and suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
the link points to a procedure when you have to repair vcha.
for patching you should only choose "remove vcenter ha" in the client or issue "destroy-vcha" via ssh. after patching go trough the wizard and setup vcha like you did the first time
if you have vcsa 6.7u3b and afterwards the procedure is:
- patch the witness via ssh
- patch the passive via ssh
- manually failover
- patch the current passive
but this takes a long time, so the fastest way is to destroy vcha, take a snapshot, patch the remaining vcsa and deploy vcha after this
Unfortunately no, I got the first edition of VCSA 6.7 and the other sites got VCSA 6.5.
ok with 6.7 prior to u3b you will run into problems if you patch each node - so destroy vcha and patch the remaining node.
with 6.5 HA i have no experience
bewe, thank you for the suggestion.
May I know if the steps in destroying or removing the HA pairs is correct?
and what about the steps to connect it again in pair?

OK, do you have the link for creating the VC-HA for v6.7?
