Vsphere 6.7 Psc
Posted By admin On 11.12.18Last week VMware launched vSphere 6.7. In this blog post I show how easy it is to upgrade a vCenter Server 6.x appliance to a new vCenter Server 6.7 appliance using the graphical interface (GUI) upgrade.

The GUI upgrade uses a two stage process: • Stage 1: Deploy a new vCenter Server 6.7 appliance • Stage 2: Transfer the services and configuration data from the old to the new appliance Upgrading the vCenter Server Appliance includes deploying a new appliance (version 6.7). The configuration and data is transferred from old (6.0 or 6.5) appliance to the new vCenter Server 6.7 Appliance. The old appliance is still available in a powered down state in the vCenter Server inventory after the upgrade. VSphere 6.7 is the last release to include vCenter Server for Windows. After this release, vCenter Server for Windows will not be available! So make sure that all new deployments and upgrades are using the the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA)! New enhancements Some cool enhancements of the vCenter Server 6.7 appliance are: • The vCenter Server with Embedded PSC supports Enhanced Linked Mode. This gives the following benefits: • No load balancer required for high availability and fully supports native vCenter Server High Availability.
VMware vSphere 6.7 announced today by VMware. It’s a major release of vSphere since a long time. The previous vSphere 6.5 release was over a year ago, back in October 2016. In vSphere 6.5 the ability to repoint a VC server to a PSC in another vSphere SSO site is not supported. See this post for details. It means if you are running a vSphere 6.5 or a build prior to vSphere 6.0 U1, you can’t repoint vCenter amongst PSC’ which are in same domain but different site.
Vsphere 6.7 Upgrade
• SSO Site boundary removal provides flexibility of placement. • Supports vSphere scale maximums. • Allows for 15 deployments in a vSphere Single Sign-On Domain. • Reduces the number of nodes to manage and maintain. • vSphere 6.7 supports repointing a vCenter Server to another external Platform Services Controller in the same SSO site and different SSO site within the same SSO domain • vSphere 6.7 supports repointing a vCenter Server (Appliance only) to another external Platform Services Controller in a different SSO domain.
• The vSphere Appliance Management Interface (VAMI) on port 5480 has some great new enhancements: • Upgraded Clarity interface • Dedicated monitor tab • Services tab. See the status of the VCSA services and the ability to: stop, start and restart services. So no CLI is needed for that anymore!

• Backup scheduler. The backup scheduler let you schedule a backup of the VCSA and select how many backups are retained. The supported protocols for backup locations are: FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS and SCP. • The vSphere Client (HTML5) has updated and includes new workflows on Update Manager and vSAN for example. Before upgrading Before upgrading make sure to check this: • Check the compatibility of the VMware and third party products you are using. When writing this blog the following VMware products are not compatible (yet) with vSphere 6.7: • NSX • Horizon. Horizon 7.4 is not compatible with the Instant Clone API used in vSphere 6.7.
