Hi @srini5 ,

Upgrade vCenter first and then the ESXi hosts.

vCenter upgrade procedure --> Upgrading vCenter Server 5.5 on Windows 

ESXi upgrade --> Methods to upgrade ESXi host 

Hope that helps.

Prior to starting with the upgrades, please make sure - unless already done- that your hardware is supported!
