I don't see a direct route but I see I can go from 5.5 to 6.5 and I should be able to go from 6.5 to 6.7
So I am trying to go from 5.5 to 6.5 and am running into an issue.
I'm using the following guide.
How to upgrade Windows vCenter 5.5 to the 6.5 Appliance - VirtuallyBoring
When I try running the migration-assistant (and I do run as Administrator as indicated) I keep getting the message:
Check that VMware vCenter Server services are up and running, and that the entered credentials are valid.
As far as I know all services are running. I checker in the service manager and all that should normally be running are. There are a few services that I do not normally run.
Like Orchestrator Server and Configuration and Snapshot provider. All the rest of my VMware services are running. I even tried running all of these, with the same result.
I verified that the firewall is disabled and I verified that the credentials let me into the web interface.
Administrator@vsphere.local works with the password I am providing to the web interface.
What other tests can I run to find where the issue is? Is there another method of upgrading. It is a semi simple environment I don't mind reorganizing my machines into folders. I just need them to continuously run as I migrate.
