Upgrade VCSA 7 HA to VCSA 8 HA

xorraadeu — Tue, 28 Mar 2023 16:07:51 GMT

Hello everyone,

Is there a step-by-step manual for upgrading VCSA 7 HA to VCSA 8 HA. Or is it better to uninstall HA (High Availability) in vCenter and upgrade to VCSA 8 version and then install HA (High Availability).

Thanks in advance

I as about to reply with disable HA -> upgrade -> enable HA, but then I found Upgrading vCenter Server in High Availability Environments after a quick search in the documentation .

Below are manual steps discussed to upgrade VC in HA environment .

However, it would easy to remove the VCHA configuration and then later once upgraded re-enable vcha
