This page contains notes on the version upgrade performed on the virtual infrastructure. Specifically:

  • vCenter - 6.5 to 7.0.1
  • ESXi 6.5.0 to 7.0U3

vCenter notes

  • Verified current server hardware listed on VMware compatibility list for 7.0U1.
  • vCenter upgraded using UI installer on lab-pc. In-place upgrade performed.
  • Pre-check error was produced initially: NTP of vCenter had old domain controllers. Had to edit /etc/ntp.conf in command line (start bash in vsphere-cli on the appliance, edit with vi).
  • VCSA virtual disk is thin-provisioned.

Other notes

  • Wiki on smithers redirected to owl, article differential migrated manually.
  • Smithers VM RAM allotment resized to 8GB from 16GB.
