We had a situation were our flash drive running ESXi 5.0 started to go bad so we purchased a new one and installed ESXi 5.5 onto it. All our VM's are up and running however I am stuck on the attached screen. It's been doing that for over and hour at this point and I have to leave soon. If I close my browser window will the upgrade continue in the background?
Also what happens if it fails? Can I just install an new Vcenter Appliance 5.5 from scratch without importing anything from the old one and are there any downsides to that?
It actually worked came in Monday and Vcenter server 5.5 was up and running
Hello,
I would think that if you close the browser it may stop the upgrade.
If it fails , you can install or deploy a new VC appliance 5.5. The only downside would be - you will be losing the performance charts and resource pools if you have any. And you may need to re-add the hosts back to the VC. It usually depends on the number of hosts - if you have less than 5 hosts starting from scratch should be No hassle.
Thanks,
