Upgrading VCSA from 6.0u3 to 6.5u1

Stage 2: Platform Services Controller

This is going to do the upgrade and migration of the Platform Services Controller

Click Next

Fill in all information of the source Platform Services Controller. Click Next.

Pre-upgrade checks are in progress

As mentioned earlier, set DRS to manual and deploy to a host directly. This I found gave me the least issues. This warning is completely safe to ignore. Click Close.

I’ve unchecked joining the CEIP. Our firewall blocks the traffic so no need for the excessive traffic. Click Next.

Review the options, place a check in the check box. The backup was done at time of snapshot. Click Finish to complete the migration.

Accept the warning. Click OK

Time for another coffee. Again, will be about 10-20 minutes for this process to complete.

The deployment is now complete.

PRO TIP! You should NOT move to the upgrade of the vCenter until ALL your Platform Services Controllers have been upgraded. 

Once all Platform Services Controllers have been upgraded, I proceeded to do the vCenter servers, in the same order.
