The following guide will show you how to properly upgrade vROPS. If you have a multi-node environment just upgrade the master node and it will automatically upgrade the Master replica, Data Node, etc.
-
Before we begin it is best to first take a snapshot of vROPs and to have a full backup of vROPS but make sure you disable quiescing. You can also backup your customized work manually in a post I wrote previously. How to backup all your vROPs work manually
-
Open a browser and download vROPs Virtual Appliance upgrade and vROPS OS Upgrade from vmware.com
-
Next login to https://{VROPS-FQDN}/admin and login as admin
-
(Optional: Some users have said it works better taking it offline first) Select the Node that has the Master Cluster Role and click on Take Offline
-
Click on Software Update > Install a Software Update
-
Click on Browse
-
Select the Operating System Upgrade and click on Open
-
Make sure both checkboxes are checked and then click on Upload
-
Click on Next
-
Accept the license agreement and click on Next
-
Wait till it completes, it may take hours depending on how big your vROPs cluster is
- Repeat the process for the Virtual Appliance
