Re: Upgrade vCenter server from 4.1 to 5.x - which route

Hi,

 

Thanks very much for the link - that's very useful.

 

Hmm. So essentially, as I understand it:

 

0) There's no way to "import" an entire running cluster into a new vCenter server?

 

1) I have enough capacity to take one host out at any time;

 

2) I could build a new cluster based on one host with the same basic config (iSCSI, management, vMotion, FT nets and main internet links)

 

3) Then hot migrate 1/3 of my VMs to it.

 

4) Make a new compliance profile from the new host

 

5) Remove 2nd host from old cluster and move to new cluster and apply profile.

 

6) Migrate another 1/3 of VMs over

 

7) Repeat 5-6 until done.

 

 

Hmm - that does seem like a lot of work and a lot of scope for stuff to go wrong. I really need to read up on this rather a lot more...

 

Tim
