Upgrading vRealize Automation 1
Upgrading is a multi-stage process in which procedures must be performed in a particular order. Follow
the suggested processes to ensure a smooth upgrade with a minimum of system downtime. You must
upgrade all product components to the same version.
Note vRealize Automation features and innovations introduced in 7.0 required several platform-level
enhancements. As a result, certain upgrade scenarios will require additional assistance. To ensure the
best possible upgrade experience, it is recommended that you visit the vRealize Automation Upgrade
Assistance webpage at http://www.vmware.com/products/vrealize-automation/upgrade-center before you
begin the upgrade process.
Locate your currently installed version in the table and then follow the steps in the documents on the right
to incrementally upgrade your vRealize Automation environment to the latest release. You can find links
to the documentation for all versions of vCloud Automation Center and vRealize Automation at
https://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/vcac-pubs.html.
You can upgrade to vRealize Automation 7.0.1 from any supported vRealize Automation 6.2.x or
vRealize Automation 7.0 release.
