Checklist for Upgrading vRealize Automation
Components
When you perform an upgrade, you update all vRealize Automation components in a specific order.
The order of upgrade varies depending on whether you are upgrading a minimal installation or a
distributed installation with multiple vRealize Automation appliances.
Use the checklists to track your work as you complete the upgrade. Complete the tasks in the order in
which they are given.
You must upgrade components in the prescribed order and upgrade all components. Using a different
order can result in unexpected behavior after the upgrade or failure of the upgrade to complete.
For information about all supported upgrade paths, see the release notes for vRealize Automation,
available on the VMware vRealize Automation Documentation landing page.
