How do I upgrade VMware vSphere? Seamlessly.
The number one cause of pain during a VMware vSphere upgrade is misconfiguration. Here’s how we address that.
Things to consider
When companies plan for a vSphere upgrade, it’s usually a well-defined project with a secured budget and a specific timeline. There is a known set of actions to be completed.
In every upgrade project, there are quite a few things to consider in reducing the risk of downtime along the way. Runecast Analyzer fits into these projects with clearly added value in terms of both operational checks during the upgrade and final ‘green light’ approval when the upgrade is ‘complete’.
Hardware compatibility upgrade checks offer the primary time-savings functionality for upgrade planning.
How Runecast aids your upgrade to the latest vSphere
As always, Runecast Analyzer is here to help in planning and executing your upgrade. Its Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) upgrade simulator:
- Proactively discovers incompatible hardware components or incompatible combinations of driver, firmware, BIOS, etc.
- Recommends compatible combinations, so you can upgrade your hardware before software, if needed
- Identifies any issues in your hardware stack, including your server platform and I/O devices
Save weeks of manually digging through the Hardware Compatibility List and comparing the infrastructure. You can use the automated KB analysis to eliminate any hidden risks associated with the upgraded version that have already been described in Knowledge Base (KB) articles.
