Prerequisites, Considerations, and
Process 1
You can perform an in-place upgrade of your current VMware vRealize ™ Automation 6.2.4 or 6.2.5
environment to the latest version. You use several upgrade procedures specic to this version to upgrade
your environment.
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.
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.

vRealize Automation appliance. If you upgrade from an earlier version of vRealize Automation, the
upgrade process removes JFrog Artifactory Pro. For more information, see Knowledge Base 2147237.
