Upgrade vShield Manager
Before you can upgrade vCenter servers and hosts registered to vCloud Director, you must upgrade vShield
Manager servers attached to the vCenter servers.
Before you upgrade a vCenter server attached to vCloud Director, upgrade the vShield Manager server
associated with the upgraded vCenter server. Upgrading vShield Manager interrupts access to vShield
Manager administrative functions, but does not interrupt network services.
Prerequisites
At least one upgraded cell in your vCloud Director installation must be running before you begin this
upgrade. The cell is responsible for writing data about the upgraded vShield Manager to the
vCloud Director database.
Procedure
1 Upgrade vShield Manager.
Follow the procedure in the vShield Installation and Upgrade Guide. After this upgrade completes, vShield
Manager notifies vCloud Director that it has a new version. It can take several minutes before vShield
Manager sends the notification and vCloud Director processes it.
2 After you have upgraded vShield manager, you must upgrade all vCenter servers and hosts before you
upgrade the vShield Edge appliances that the upgraded vShield Manager manages.
Upgrade vCenter, Hosts, and vShield Edge Appliances
After you have upgraded vCloud Director and vShield Manager, upgrade the vCenter servers and hosts
attached to your cloud, then upgrade vShield Edge appliances on upgraded vCenter servers.
Procedure
1 Upgrade the vCenter server.
See the vSphere Installation and Setup Guide.
