Upgrade Requirements
The following sections describe the upgrade requirements for vCenter Operations Manager.
vApp Disk Space Requirements for Upgrades
For an upgrade to vCenter Operations Manager 5.0, the following amount of disk space configurations for UI
VM and Analytics VM is required.
Table 6-2. Disk Space Requirements for Upgrading to vCenter Operations Manager 5.0
Resource Minimum Requirement
UI VM Disk 1: 4GB
Data Disks: 250GB
Analytics VM Disk 1: 4GB
Data Disks: 120GB
License Considerations for the vCenter Operations Manager Upgrade
When you upgrade CapacityIQ and vCenter Operations Manager Standard to vCenter Operations Manager,
consider the number of licenses that you must receive for an edition.
If you did not purchase the same number of licenses for CapacityIQ and
vCenter Operations Manager Standard, and you want to upgrade your environment to
vCenter Operations Manager, you must determine the number of licenses to receive.
Add a Hard Disk to a Virtual Machine
You may need to add virtual disks to the UI VM and Analytics VM to support disk size requirements. Use the
vSphere Client to add a hard disk to a virtual machine.
For each virtual machine in the vApp that needs more disk space, add a new hard disk to the virtual machine.
You can add multiple disks as vCenter Operations Manager will mount and format all of them into the same
logical disk where vCenter Operations Manager data is stored.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that you have read the system requirements for vCenter Operations Manager upgrades. See
“vCenter Server and ESX Requirements,” on page 14 for details.
