Hello, I have an existing vcenter server install managing two esx 3.5 hosts. The vcenter is version 2.5.0.x. I would like to manage my new esxi 4.1 vsphere hosts through the vcenter. I would like to verify that if I upgrade my vcenter from 2.5.0 to the latest version vcenter server required for 4.1 I will still be able to manage my older esx 3.5 hosts? Will an inplace upgrade of vcenter 2.5.0.x support keeping the licensing server in place or will I have to manually install this after? Thanks for any info. Doug Dorbuck
You can mange ESX 3.x hosts with vCenter 4.x - you CANNOT manage ESX 4.x hosts with vCenter 2.x
I believe in an place upgrade will keep the license server - if not you will have to reinstall the license server -
