Deregister NSX manager from vCenter

VMware Cloud Foundation – Upgrade

Welcome to the new blog, In this blog we will be discussing about the process to be followed for VCF upgrade, I have taken an example for version 4.5 to 5.0, however the process will be same for other versions as well. (do not forget to check the compatibility & upgrade guide) to ensure you are not missing any intermediate upgrade if any.

You can perform a sequential or skip-level upgrade to VMware Cloud Foundation 5.0 from VMware Cloud Foundation 4.3 or later. If your environment is at a version earlier than 4.3, you must upgrade the management domain and all VI workload domains to VMware Cloud Foundation 4.3 or later before you can upgrade to VMware Cloud Foundation 5.0.

Please refer to the upgrade guide document for the most recent updates and process: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Cloud-Foundation/5.0/vcf-lifecycle/GUID-C82BB0D4-FD52-4CC9-A6BB-3A6CF35E380E.html

In this document I have tried to capture step by step screenshot of upgrade process and few errors for your reference.
