vRealize Operations 6.1 is now available, I thought I would put a quick guide together as I go through the upgrade process.
To upgrade from vRealize Operations Manager to the most recent version, follow these steps.
Download the PAK file(s) needed based on the type of cluster.
- vApp clusters
- The vApp cluster requires the deployment of the OS upgrade and the product upgrade .pak files.
- For an OS upgrade, the file is: vRealize_Operations_Manager-VA-OS-xxx.pakFor the product upgrade of vApp clusters, the file is: vRealize_Operations_Manager-VA-xxx.pak
- The vApp heterogeneous cluster requires the deployment of the OS upgrade and the product upgrade .pak files.
- For an OS upgrade, the file is: vRealize_Operations_Manager-VA-OS-xxx.pakFor the product upgrade of a heterogeneous cluster that has VA nodes with Windows Remote Collectors, the file is: vRealize_Operations_Manager-VA-WIN-xxx.pak
- The RHEL standalone cluster requires the deployment of only the product upgrade .pak file.For the product upgrade of RHEL clusters, the file is: vRealize_Operations_Manager-RHEL-xxx.pak
- The RHEL heterogeneous cluster requires the deployment of only the product upgrade .pak file.For the product upgrade of a heterogeneous cluster that has RHEL nodes with Windows Remote Collectors, the file is: vRealize_Operations_Manager-RHEL-WIN-xxx.pak
- The Windows cluster requires the deployment of only the product upgrade .pak file.For the product upgrade of Windows clusters, the file is: vRealize_Operations_Manager-WIN-xxx.pak
The rest of the upgrade process is pretty straightforward.
