VMware vSphere 7.0 Update 3c was recently released and contains fixes for the critical upgrade bugs discovered in the original Update 3 last November. The new vSphere 7.0 Update 3c also contains fixes for the Apache Log4j vulnerability built into the release and is considered the fixed version for this security bug.
In the video walkthrough we will look at upgrading vCenter Server to vCenter 7.0 Update 3c and also use Lifecycle Manager to upgrade a 4-node vSAN cluster ESXi hosts to ESXi 7.0 Update 3c. We will look at the steps to use the Lifecycle Manager to remediate a vSphere cluster and the new image-based approach for updates, firmware, vendor add-ons, etc.

Thanks for the video. Do you recommend taking a snapshot of VCSA after shutting it down or without shutting down?

@rottenfist220 Жыл бұрын

I prefer shutting down.

Great!! I have 2 hosts ESX and what about VMs powered on in each ESX hosts? Are they powered off or migrated to the another ESX? Thx

Hey please, I still have error when checking for compliance, is there any configuration on vmnic of each host before I proceed ? I only have 2 hosts 7.0.0 and running VCSA Great video Thank you

I checked my vCetner Server Management for update but there is an error " Check the URL and try again". May I know what URL are you using for checking updates?

Great video, but it looks like this upgrade is for a clean environment, I don't see other datastores and I'm sure you don't have VMs created. Are the steps the same with a production environment? Having VMs and datastore for them?

Is this enterprise edition that handle the vmotion of vms compare to standard

Nice Video. As for your VM's on each host are they all shut down, I am assuming so? If not then you would do each host one at a time, migrating off all VM's to other hosts correct?

@VirtualizationHowto 2 жыл бұрын

MK that is correct. My lab cluster wasn't a great example of this since I didn't have any guest VMs running. However, with vLCM image-based remediation or with Update Manager, it rolls through the hosts, either automatically or manually (depending on how you choose), migrates running VMs off the host to other hosts in the cluster, places the host in maintenance mode, remediates, reboots, takes out of maintenance mode and repeats the process across all hosts in the cluster. You are right though, all running VMs must be evacuated from the host before it can proceed.

@@VirtualizationHowto Ok great so it will do that if you initiate an upgrade at the cluster level! It will take any running VM's and VMotion them to other hosts in that cluster while that host is being Upgraded. Does the VM migration happen before a host is put into Maintenance Mode once the Remediation is initiated or after?

What will happen if I have only 1 host running all my VMs + vShpere Center appliance ? 1. there is no second host to move VMs to, what will happen, will be there need to manually shutdown/suspend all my VMs before I start update, or there is need to turn on DRS service and VMs will get shutdown by DRS automatically in the right time ? 2. what will happen with vSphere Center's VM ? It controls the process of upgrade, but same time host needs to shut it down before host enters Maintenance mode.

What about a vsan witness server. Is it updated first along with the other esxi hosts through lifecycle manager?

@VirtualizationHowto Жыл бұрын

Sevendown, yes you can update these like any other ESXi host.

Only annoying part is vCenter install ISO is around 6GB, patches are also around 6GB... It's like re-installing vCenter...

Michal, fortunately it usually shows some inordinate amount of time on the estimate but never takes that long.

On my first attempt update of vCenter appliance showed me 4 hours. Waited almost 1 hour and than canceled it. Maybe this is that king of job good to schedule it for a night.
