I am sure this was answered before but I'll ask anyway. Better safe than sorry.
I am currently running:
VMware vSphere 6 Essentials Kit
VS6-ESSL-SUB-C
VS6-ESSL-KIT-C
vCenter Appliance 6.0 U2
ESXi 6.0 (HP custom image)
ON:
HP DL360p Gen8 G8 v2 2x 2.60GHz 8C E5-2670 112GB Memory,
P420i 1GB, 2.5" HDD 10 BAYS (up to 14TB of local storage RAID5)
HP 1.8TB 12G SAS 10k 2.5" 512e Hard Drives
I am UPGRADING TO:
vCenter Server Appliance 6.5U1d
ESXi 6.5 (HP custom image)
VMware-ESXi-6.5.0-OS-Release-4564106-HPE-650.9.6.0.28-Nov2016.iso (HP custom image not sure which update?)
VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.5.0.update01-5969303.x86_64.iso (will not be used)
VMware-VCSA-all-6.5.0-7312210.iso
QUESTIONS: (assuming everything is backed up)
1 Which should I upgrade first ESXi or vCenter?
2 What info I need to know for vCenter upgrade? What passwords?
3 Are there any known issues with HP custom image listed above?
4 Please provide the best practice scenario.
5 Any links to video are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
