An in-place upgrade is a multi-stage process in which you perform procedures in a particular order on the
various components in your current environment. You must upgrade all product components to the same
version.
N New vRealize Automation features introduce several enhancements along with the ability to
upgrade or migrate to the new version. For recommendations and guidance before you begin the upgrade
process, visit the vRealize Automation Upgrade Assistance Program web page at
hp://www.vmware.com/products/vrealize-automation/upgrade-center before you begin the upgrade
process.
