• Plan your upgrade
• Order is important
• Always start with vCenter
• Don’t forget about plug-ins
• Rolling ESXi host upgrades are supported
• Know your VM upgrade requirements
• Don’t forget about VMFS and VDS

Upgrade Matrix
 VMware supports in-place upgrades on 64-bit systems from
• vCenter Server 4.x
• vCenter Server 5.0.x
• vCenter Server 5.1.x
*Exception being Windows XP Professional x64
 VMware does not support directly migrating an existing, 5.0.x or
earlier vCenter Server to a new machine during an upgrade to
version 5.5
• You can migrate such an existing vCenter Server to a new machine during an
upgrade to version 5.0.x, and then perform an in-place upgrade from version
5.0.x to version 5.5
 vCenter Server 5.5 can manage
• ESX 4.x/ESXi 4.x, ESXi 5.0.x, and 5.1 x hosts
• in the same cluster with ESXi 5.5 hosts
 vCenter Server 5.5 cannot manage ESX 2.x or 3.x hosts

Con’s
 Loss of Historical data
 Rebuild of environment
 Settings manually
recreated
 Time Involved
In place Upgrade
Pro’s
 Most Common
 All Setting’s Maintained
 Slipstreamed Process
 Historical data maintained
Con’s
 Carry over of old/unused
data
 Performance (hardware?)

Installer
 Simple Install Changes
• Added Web Client
• Installer Order changes
5.1
Single Sign-On
Inventory Service
vCenter
5.5
Single Sign-On
vSphere WebClient
Inventory Service
vCenter
 Why?
• In the rare case SSO goes wrong, users can
log into Web Client and configure/edit
 Best practice: Simple Install puts all
components in a single server
• VMware’s suggested best practice
15
Custom Install
Why would you run this?
 Distribute services across multiple
servers
 Customize location
 Advanced configurations
• E.g. additional vCenter servers
1 2 3 4

Inventory Svc
Use Simple Installer
Installs / Upgrades core
components with a single
virtual machine
1. vCenter Single Sign-On
2. vSphere Web Client
3. vCenter Inventory Service
4. vCenter Server
 No change to architecture
 All services are local
• Reduces complexity
 Supports 1-1000 Hosts / 1-
10,000 Virtual Machines
17
Multiple vCenter Server 5.5 (Remote) Design Recommendation
By Default
 Each site is independent
 Does not provide a single pane of glass view
 SSO automated replication
 SSO Users & Groups
 SSO Policies
 Identity sources
 Site awareness
 Linked Mode
 Maintains single pane of glass
 Replicates Licenses, permissions and roles
 Availability
 vSphere HA
 vCenter Heartbeat

Supports Upgrade of all vCenter 5.1 configurations
Previous vCenter Single Sign-On 5.1 deployment models
• Fully Maintained via Upgrade
• Basic
• Single Sign-On High Availability
• Single Sign-On Multisite
New recommendations with vSphere 5.5
• Better use of new technology
• Single virtual machine for all vCenter components**
• Distributed virtual machines add complexity
• Availability
• Backup & Restore
• Easily migrate to new recommendations during upgrade
** Enterprise customers with 6 or more local vCenter servers can use a centralized instance

VMworld 2013: vSphere Upgrade Series Part 1: vCenter Server

  • 1. vSphere Upgrade Series Part 1: vCenter Server Josh Gray, VMware Justin King, VMware VSVC5690 #VSVC5690
  • 2. 2 vSphere Deployment Best Practices – vCenter Server 5.1  Upgrade Overview  Before vCenter and vCenter Single Sign-On  Components of vCenter 5.1  Upgrade Matrix  vCenter Server 5.5 Requirements  Upgrade / Install order  New Install vs In Place Upgrade  Reference Architecture  Linked Mode  vCenter Appliance  VMware Update Manager (VUM)
  • 3. 3 vSphere Upgrade Overview  Upgrading vSphere is a multistage process • Plan your upgrade • Order is important • Always start with vCenter • Don’t forget about plug-ins • Rolling ESXi host upgrades are supported • Know your VM upgrade requirements • Don’t forget about VMFS and VDS Step 3 ESXi Step 4 VMs Step 5 VMFS Step 1 vCenter Step 2 VUM This session focuses on Steps 1 - 2For Steps 3 – 5 see VSVC4945: vSphere Upgrade Part 2
  • 4. 4 vSphere Upgrade Resources  vSphere Documentation Center https://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/  VMware Compatibility Guide http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility  Product Interoperability Matrix http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/sim/interop_matrix.php
  • 5. 5 Before vCenter had vCenter Single Sign-On vCenter Server vCenter Server Database vSphere Web Client (5.0) • Server-side setting’s • VMware Plugins • Third Party Plugins • vCenter Data• SSL Certificates • ADAM
  • 6. 6 Added with vCenter Server 5.1 Single Sign-On Inventory Service • Identity sources • Database • Embedded users / groups and policies • xDB file format (Inventory Cache) • Tags No new components added with vCenter Server 5.5
  • 7. 7 Upgrade Matrix  VMware supports in-place upgrades on 64-bit systems from • vCenter Server 4.x • vCenter Server 5.0.x • vCenter Server 5.1.x *Exception being Windows XP Professional x64  VMware does not support directly migrating an existing, 5.0.x or earlier vCenter Server to a new machine during an upgrade to version 5.5 • You can migrate such an existing vCenter Server to a new machine during an upgrade to version 5.0.x, and then perform an in-place upgrade from version 5.0.x to version 5.5  vCenter Server 5.5 can manage • ESX 4.x/ESXi 4.x, ESXi 5.0.x, and 5.1 x hosts • in the same cluster with ESXi 5.5 hosts  vCenter Server 5.5 cannot manage ESX 2.x or 3.x hosts
  • 8. 8 System Requirements (Hardware) Simple Install (Minimums) • 2CPU / 12GB RAM / 100GB Disk / 1Gbps Custom Install (Minimums)  Single Sign-On • 1CPU / 3GB RAM / 2GB Disk / 1Gbps  vSphere Web Client • 1CPU / 2GB RAM / 2GB Disk / 1Gbps**  Inventory Service • 1CPU / 3GB RAM / 5GB Disk / 1Gbps  vCenter Server • 2CPU / 4GB RAM / 60GB Disk / 1Gbps
  • 9. 9 System Requirements (Hardware) - Recommended Simple Install (Recommended) • 4CPU / 24GB RAM / 200GB Disk / 1Gbps Custom Install (Recommended)  Single Sign-On • 2CPU / 4GB RAM / 8GB Disk / 1Gbps  vSphere Web Client • 2CPU / 4GB RAM / 8GB Disk / 1Gbps**  Inventory Service • 1CPU / 8GB RAM / 32GB Disk / 1Gbps  vCenter Server • 4CPU / 8GB RAM / 100GB Disk / 1Gbps Based on an Inventory Size of 400 hosts or 4000 virtual machines
  • 10. 10 Deprecated Operating Systems  vCenter Server 5.5 removes support for • Windows Server 2003 as a host operating system • Windows Server 2008 (no SP) as a host operating system • Windows Server 2008 SP1 as a host operating system Upgrade to Windows Server 2008 SP2 before upgrading vCenter Server to version 5.5  vSphere Documentation Center https://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/  VMware Compatibility Guide http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility  Product Interoperability Matrix http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/sim/interop_matrix.php
  • 11. 11 New Install vs In Place Upgrade New Install Pro’s  Clean Start  Reconfigure Architecture  New Hardware Con’s  Loss of Historical data  Rebuild of environment  Settings manually recreated  Time Involved In place Upgrade Pro’s  Most Common  All Setting’s Maintained  Slipstreamed Process  Historical data maintained Con’s  Carry over of old/unused data  Performance (hardware?)
  • 12. 12 Installation – Then and Now Download and Install vCenter Download and Install VI Client on desktop vCenter 4.x / 5.0 vCenter on Windows vCenter Server Appliance
  • 14. 14 Installer  Simple Install Changes • Added Web Client • Installer Order changes 5.1 Single Sign-On Inventory Service vCenter 5.5 Single Sign-On vSphere WebClient Inventory Service vCenter  Why? • In the rare case SSO goes wrong, users can log into Web Client and configure/edit  Best practice: Simple Install puts all components in a single server • VMware’s suggested best practice
