- Log in to the VCSA VAMI via https://FQDN_oor_IP:5480
- Click Update and you’ll see what the current version is, in my case 6.7.0.21000 which is 6.7 U1b, and what available updates there are.
- You have a few configuration options which you reach by clicking SETTINGS in the user right corner. Set it to whatever meets your requirements. In this case, i’m just using default configuration.
- Via CHECK UPDATES link, also in the user right corner, you have some additional options
- Highlight the version you’re after and click either “STAGE ONLY” or “STAGE AND INSTALL”. In my case I did “STAGE ONLY” and when the process is finished you can “INSTALL” or “UNSTAGE”
Just click INSTALL and the upgrade wizard will start.
- First accept the end user license agreement (EULA)
- Then decide if you wanna join the VMware Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP)
- Make sure you have a backup, which i actually had 🙂 Then click Finish and there you go.
- Sit back and watch the upgrade process.
- When done verify the new version number appears in the VAMI Summary section and in this case i got 6.7.0.32000 which is what I needed. Old version i had was 6.7.0.21000 – remember?
- Check that all Services with Startup Type set to Automatic are actually started. You do that via the VAMI Services section.
- Second last thing to check is to verify the network configuration is still present & correct. Go to Networking in VAMI.
- Finally – log in to the vSphere Web Client (HTML5) and verify all looks good.
That easy!!!!
