Hello,
I'm upgrading from 6.5 to 7.0.3. I have a few questions if anyone could be so kind as to give me some insight.
1. Would I first need to upgrade the vCSA to the latest version, it is currently at 7.0.2.
2. I need to update 2 vmhosts. Is it the case that I can vMotion from 6.5 to 7.0 but not 7.0 to 6.5?
3. Is it possible to do the upgrade remotely? Can I launch it from the vCSA or SSH?
Thanks in advance.
André
Thanks for the help. Can the Esxi host be updated from an ISO on a datastore? If not, how?
In order to use an ISO image, you need to be able to mount the ISO on the host. Either physically, or through a server management interface like HPE iLO, Dell iDRAC, etc. For an upgrade from the command line use a supported offline bundle (.zip file).

Thanks, Andre. The upgrade went very smoothly but on one vmHost we saw 550 errors which had to do with 5.5 VIB remnants from an old upgrade. I had never seen that before.
