vcentre server update 1

Hi all.

Having a read of the upgrade guides online for update 1 and would like peoples thoughts who have applied the patch.

I am upgrading vmware vcentre 5.0 to 5.0 update 1.

What actions do i need to perform before i run the upgrade and is it a simple case of running the latest installer?

Basicly yes, run installer, but do a backup of database of vcenter is recommended. and during upgrade do not overwrite informations of vcenter db.

follow how information changes of version http://www.vmware.com/support/vsphere5/doc/vsp_vc50_u1_rel_notes.html

There is a change in how the service account for the webservices service is handled in 5.0u1, be aware of that for the upgrade.

I blogged about it here: http://wahlnetwork.com/2012/03/20/vcenter-5-upgrade-1-webservices-service-error-with-local-system/
