We will be able to continue with another automatic update process, and it is only once we have all the hosts updated to the version 6.5, We will need to update (in this order) VMware Tools and Virtual Machine Hardware. The latter perhaps more optional. We will do all this through Update Manager which, as we know, is embedded in the vCenter Server Appliance 6.5
This would be the last step for a successful migration of our VMware vCenter virtual environment 2.5 a VMware vCenter Server 4.0, once we already have the VMware vCenter Server in the version 4.0, we have migrated the VMware Update Manager to VMware vCenter Update Manager 4.0 and all our ESX hosts are already with ESX 4.0, we will be able to upgrade the VMware Tools to the virtual machines as well as then upgrade the virtual hardware version of the version 4 to the version 7.
It's a bit simple, But I have met some clients who had not done it and it is really important, simply that we will have to take it into account when we upgrade our VMware ESX infrastructure, from a 3.x version to the 4.0. We will have to update the VMware Tools on the computers first and then update the Hardware version of the VMs.
