Upgrading vSphere Update Manager (VUM) to 6.0 Update 2

To upgrade an instance of Update Manager that is installed on a 64-bit machine, you must first upgrade vCenter Server to a compatible version.

Things to have ready

·         Download the VMware vCenter Server 6.0 Update 2 and Modules for Windows ISO
·         Disable any alerts or monitoring so that we don't get false alerts during the update process.
·         Before updating the vCenter Appliance take a clone of the image and also take a snapshot before the update 

Procedure:  

1.          Mount the ISO on the virtual machines on which Update manager installed

2.          In the software installer directory, double-click the autorun.exe file and select vSphere Update Manager > Server.

3.          Run autorun.exe

4.          Select a language for the installer and click OK.

5.          In the upgrade warning message, click OK.

6.          Review the Welcome page and click Next.

7.          Read and accept the license agreement, and click Next.

8.          Review the support information, select whether to delete old upgrade files, select whether to download updates from the default download sources immediately after installation, and click Next.

9.          Type the vCenter Server system credentials and click Next.

10.      To keep the Update Manager registration with the original vCenter Server system valid, keep the vCenter Server system IP address and enter the credentials from the original installation.

11.      Type the database password for the Update Manager database and click Next.

12.      The database password is required only if the DSN does not use Windows NT authentication.

13.      On the Database Upgrade page, select Yes, I want to upgrade my Update Manager database and I have taken a backup of the existing Update Manager database, and click Next.

14.      (Optional) On the Database re-initialization warning page, select to keep your existing remote database if it is already upgraded to the latest schema.

15.      If you replace your existing database with an empty one, you lose all of your existing data.

16.      Specify the Update Manager port settings, select whether you want to configure the proxy settings, and click Next.

17.      Click Install to begin the upgrade.


18.      Click Finish.
