VMware vSphere® 5.0 Upgrade
Best Practices
Upgrading a 32-Bit vCenter 4.0 OS with a Local Database
This scenario will describe an upgrade of vCenter Server 4.0 with a local database running on a 32-bit version of
a Microsoft Windows 2003 OS. As vCenter 5.0 is a 64-bit platform, an in-place upgrade is not impossible. A
VMware Data Migration Tool included with the vCenter Server media can be utilized to migrate data and settings
from the old 32-bit OS to the new 64-bit OS.
