6.0.2

Option Details
Enable parallel remediation for the
hosts in the selected clusters.
Remediate hosts in clusters in a parallel manner. If the seing is not
selected, Update Manager remediates the hosts in a cluster sequentially.
By design only one host from a Virtual SAN cluster can be in a
maintenance mode at any time. Update Manager remediates hosts that are
part of a Virtual SAN cluster sequentially even if you select the option to
remediate them in parallel.
By default, Update Manager continuously evaluates the maximum number
of hosts it can remediate concurrently without disrupting DRS seings.
You can limit the number of concurrently remediated hosts to a specic
number.
N Update Manager remediates concurrently only the hosts on which
virtual machines are powered o or suspended. You can choose to power
o or suspend virtual machines from the Power State menu in the
Maintenance Mode Seings pane on the Host Remediation Options page.
Migrate powered off and suspended
virtual machines to other hosts in
the cluster, if a host must enter
maintenance mode.
Update Manager migrates the suspended and powered o virtual
machines from hosts that must enter maintenance mode to other hosts in
the cluster. You can choose to power o or suspend virtual machines
before remediation in the Maintenance Mode Seings pane.
15 (Optional) Generate a cluster remediation options report by clicking Generate Report on the Cluster
Remediation Options page and click Next.
16 On the Ready to Complete page, click Finish.
N In the Recent Tasks pane, the remediation task is displayed and will remain at about 22 percent for
most of the process. The process is still running and will take approximately 15 minutes to complete.
Remediate Hosts Against Baseline Groups
You can remediate hosts against aached groups of upgrade, patch, and extension baselines. Baseline
groups might contain multiple patch and extension baselines, or an upgrade baseline combined with
multiple patch and extension baselines.
You can perform an orchestrated upgrade by using a host baseline group. The upgrade baseline in the
baseline group runs rst, followed by patch and extension baselines.
N Alternatively, you can upgrade hosts by using a single upgrade baseline. See “Remediate Hosts
Against an Upgrade Baseline,” on page 165.
Prerequisites
Ensure that at least one baseline group is aached to the host.
Review any scan messages in the Upgrade Details window for potential problems with hardware, third-
party software, and conguration issues that might prevent a successful upgrade to ESXi 6.0.
