Best Practices
Attaching the Baseline to Your Cluster/Host
Attach the upgrade baseline to your host or cluster. From the vCenter Hosts and Clusters view, select the
Update Manager tab and choose Attach… . Select the upgrade baseline created previously. If you have any
other upgrade baselines attached, remove them.
Scanning the Cluster/Host
Scan your hosts to ensure that the host requirements are met and you are ready to upgrade. From the vCenter
Hosts and Clusters view, select the host/cluster, select the Update Manager tab and select Scan... . Wait for the
scan to complete.
If the hosts return a status of Non-Compliant, you are ready to proceed with upgrading the host.
