Update Manager: ESX 4.0 to 4.1

[xadox]

Is there a way to Upgrade my ESX 4.0 hosts to 4.1 with the Update Manager from vCenter Server?

Yes, you need to upgrade vCenter 4.1 first and then just upload upgrade-from-ESX4.0-to-4.1.0-0.0.260247-release.zip package to upgrade manager.

All other steps how to upgrade you can find in Update Manager Manual.

Do I have to deploy "pre-upgrade-from-ESX4.0-to-4.1.0-0.0.260247-release.zip" first to the ESX servers?

No, this package is for manual upgrade only and you don't need it with Update Manager.
