Solved: Nexus 1000 - vCenter 5.5 Upgrade to 6.0 - Official Steps?

KRIS PATE · ‎10-16-2015

I have tried to find the appropriate steps to upgrade from vCenter 5.5 to 6.0 but so far haven't found a good guide.

We are already running N1KV 5.2(1)SV3(1.5b) due to security bugs, but now we need to plan for the upgrade to vCenter 6.0

Here is my plan:

1. Upgrade vCenter and VUM - Is there a step needed to reconnect N1K SVS to vCenter after the upgrade?

2. Uninstall VEM from ESXI 5.5

3. Upgrade ESXi to 6.0

4. Install VEM

Does this look correct? Or is there a document that speaks to this?

However it assumes you are doing a N1K upgrade at the same time as the vCenter upgrade.

We are only doing the vCenter upgrade.

Hi Kris,

I'm not sure if you recieved help or not it has been quite some time so I apologize for the delay in communication.

A great guide to reference is linked below if you go to the "Installing and Upgrading VMware" section.

This will give you great step by step details on how to achieve your results. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask.
