求助关于Vcenter 4.1及Exsi 4.1升级到5.0的介绍

billypeng

以前是使用整套的Vcneter4.1及Exsi4.1，现在考虑升级到5.0，是否有相关的介绍，找了很久，也只是关于Exsi 4.1的升级介绍，但没有关于Vcenter的升级介绍，我的Vcenter4.1安装环境为Win2003 64Bit及SQL 2005 64Bit。
谢谢。

vSphere 安装和设置指南 内，有详细的软硬件需求。对于M$的数据库：
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express

machines.

32-bit and 64-bit versions. SP3 is required. SP4 is recommended.
Ensure that the machine has a valid ODBC DSN entry.
If Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is not already installed and the machine has MSXML Core
Services 6.0 installed, remove MSXML Core Services 6.0 before installing Microsoft SQL Server

5.0版本不再提供VMware vCenter Converter插件，今后只能使用单独的VMware vCenter Converter Standalone了

vCenter 5.0安装介质内，有个代理，可以检查一下环境。
一般，先升级vCenter Server，再升级主机。

谢谢。还在研究中。

旧VC先备份。
然后用VC安装介质升级(升级前，先运行一下我介绍的那个升级检测工具)。
