Required Information for Upgrading a vCenter Server Appliance
6.0 or 6.5 or Platform Services Controller Appliance 6.0 or 6.5
The GUI upgrade wizard prompts you for information about the vCenter Server Appliance 6.0 or 6.5, or
Platform Services Controller appliance 6.0 or 6.5 that you want to upgrade, deployment information for
the new 6.7 appliance, and the types of data that you want to transfer from the old to the new appliance. It
is a best practice to keep a record of the values that you entered.
You can use this worksheet to record the information that you need for upgrading a
vCenter Server Appliance 6.0 or 6.5 with an embedded Platform Services Controller, a
vCenter Server Appliance 6.0 or 6.5 with an external Platform Services Controller, or a
Platform Services Controller appliance 6.0 or 6.5.
