If you have a vSphere 6.x license key in your lab that is working now, after the upgrade to 7.0, you'll be starting your 60 day trial, during which time you'll want to apply your license keys from any one of the 4 options listed below.Īs always, you must do your homework including checking whether your VM backup solution supports vSphere 7 Update 2c yet. If you are new to 7.x, you'll need new license keys and some preparation.

Note that the fresh install full downloads do require you to use your MY VMware account, with free sign-up and 60 day trials, with information about potentially avoiding all that for existing vSphere 7.0 non-production labs here, which I've already tested! Thus, I found the errors surprising, but most went away by merely using vSphere Client to launch VAMI then clicking on Update, CHECK UPDATES, Check CD ROM, as pictured above.įolks new to VMware sometimes get tripped up when trying to find the actual files they'll need to get started. What surprised me was that my VCSA 7.0U2a instance was rebuilt from scratch under a month ago, so it was very nearly a fresh install. I do have some other minor warnings in the vSphere Client that I might publish a video on if time permits, but those don't seem to have anything to do with how I updated.

Alternatively, use ESXCLI to upgrade which doesn't require VCSA, downloads and installs with one command, and doesn't require my. credentials or software trials, or VCSA.ĭespite this, my VCSA seems to work just fine once I managed to get the VAMI Update to work.

Next, update your ESXi host(s) with the preferred Lifecycle Manager. SequenceĪs always, be sure to update your VCSA first, here's my lab testing of that procedure using VAMI. On Oct 05 2021, I noticed that ESXi 7.0U3 became available, so I began my lab testing using the ESXCLI upgrade method.

The main VMware download page with all the products to sift through is here, with guidance on what exact files to get from where detailed below! If you're still on 6.x and are more of a YouTube watcher/visual leaner and you want to see what the upgrades to 7.0 are like, here's the article featuring informal videos that should help build your confidence!

You should read about VMware's changing stance on using USB or SD for the ESXi hypervisor. I have begun my "TinkerTry'd" home lab testing, it's going well so far a seen in this VCSA video, smoother than all prior 7.x releases actually. If you're already on 7.0x, you don't have to wait, back up first, then you can upgrade your VCSA 7.x using just VAMI, and you can upgrade your ESXi 7.x using vLCM or ESXCLI.
