Hi Everyone,
Currently running Ontap 7.3.2, vSphere 4.0 along with SMVI 2.0P1D1, RCU 3.0, and VSC 1.x.
We're looking to do an in place upgrade our existing vCenter server from 4.0 to 4.1 along with upgrading to VSC2.0. Any suggestions or best practices regarding the steps needed to make a smooth upgrade?
I read through the VMware upgrade doc, but it really doesn't mention anything about uninstalling or disabling pluggins. I haven't read through the VSC 2.0 doc just yet but will be doing so shortly.
Should I uninstall all the Netapp software (SMVI, RCU and VSC), upgrade to 4.1 and then install VSC 2.0. Or upgrade to 4.1, then uninstall NetApp software and then install VSC 2.0? All suggestions and comments are greatly appreciated.
As for our ESX 4.0 servers, after upgrading our vCenter server, we'll do a clean install of 4.1 on new systems and then just migrate the VM's to it.
