Vmware - Upgrading hosts ESXi(s) from 5.0 to 5.5
Hi,
I have done an upgrade in one of the hosts ESXi from 5.0 to 5.5 using the following command line:
esxcli software vib install -d /vmfs/volumes/vmapp_free/E SXi550-201 505002.zip
Installation Result
Message: The update completed successfully, but the system needs to be rebooted for the changes to be effective.
Reboot Required: true

The upgrade was ok but, Im not able to connect the host again because (i believe per what I read so far) the vCenter version is still 5.0. So I need to upgrade it to 5.5 in order to be able to have hosts with ESXi 5.5 (pls correct me if Im wrong... Attached are the logs to "prove" the theory.
Anyway, my question nos how to upgrade Vcenter.. currently I have this version:
VMware vCenter Server Appliance Version 5.0 of VC running on SLES 11
Is this the file I should DL from vmware.com?

ASKER CERTIFIED SOLUTION

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Just remember in the future that it is usually best to upgrade vcenter first :-) I would also recommend using Update Manager to manage your host upgrades.
ASKER
The problem with the Update manager is that its paid and requires a separate license, right?
To my knowledge it is included with all versions Essentials, Standard, Enterprise and Enterprise Plus
Included with vCenter Server, but you need to install on a Windows Server, it does not install on the Appliance.
ASKER
Tks.
