Hello all,
I am currently running ESX 3.0.2 and Virtual Center 2.0, I wish to upgrade Virtual Center to 2.5. First is it possible considering my ESX version? Second is this a desireable change (I want the added features of 2.5)? And lastly what are the steps involved?
If someone can please point out the pro's/con's and any risks, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you
Yes. VC 2.5 can manage your ESX 3.0 environment. In fact, you need to upgrade your VC server to 2.5 before you upgrade your hosts to 3.5.
I had issues with an in-place upgrade. a call to Vmware didn't really help so, I just built a new VC server. Many here have done the in-place upgrade with no issues. I'm still not sure what my issue was. I didn't really lose anything by starting over.
