Read the VMware vSphere Release Notes for known installation issues.

If your vSphere installation is in a VMware View environment, see “Upgrading vSphere

Components Separately in a Horizon View Environment,” on page 220.

2 Prepare your system for the upgrade.

Make sure your system meets requirements for the vCenter Server version that you are upgrading

to. See Chapter 2, “System Requirements,” on page 13 and the VMware Product Interoperability

Matrix at http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/sim/interop_matrix.php.

Verify that your existing database is supported for the vCenter Server version that you are

upgrading to. See the VMware Product Interoperability Matrix at

http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/sim/interop_matrix.php.

Make sure that your vCenter Server database is prepared and permissions are correctly set. See the

information about preparing vCenter Server databases in the vSphere Installation and Setup

documentation.

Review the prerequisites for the upgrade. See “Prerequisites for the vCenter Server Upgrade,” on

page 48.

3 Back up your vCenter Server databases and SSL certificates

Make a full backup of the vCenter Server database and the vCenter Inventory Service database. For

the vCenter Server database, see the vendor documentation for your vCenter Server database type.

For the Inventory Service database, see the topics "Back Up the Inventory Service Database on

Windows" and "Back Up the Inventory Service Database on Linux" in the vSphere Installation and

Setup documentation.

Back up the SSL certificates that are on the vCenter Server system before you upgrade to vCenter

Server 5.5. The default location of the SSL certificates is %allusersprofile%\Application

Data\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter.

4 Stop the VMware VirtualCenter Server service.

5 Run the vCenter Host Agent Pre-Upgrade Checker, and resolve any issues. See “Run the vCenter Host

Agent Pre-Upgrade Checker,” on page 57.

6 Make sure that no processes are running that conflict with the ports that vCenter Server uses. See

“Required Ports for vCenter Server,” on page 23.

7 Upgrade vCenter Server and required components.

See the appropriate procedure for your existing vCenter Server deployment:

“Use Simple Install to Upgrade vCenter Server and Required Components,” on page 65

“Use Custom Install to Upgrade a Basic vCenter Single Sign-On Deployment of Version 5.1.x

vCenter Server and Required Components,” on page 78

“Use Custom Install to Upgrade vCenter Server from a Version 5.1.x High Availability vCenter

Single Sign-On Deployment,” on page 84

“Use Custom Install to Upgrade vCenter Server from a Version 5.1.x Multisite vCenter Single Sign-

On Deployment,” on page 93

8 Configure new vSphere 5.5 licenses.

9 Review the topics in Chapter 5, “After You Upgrade vCenter Server,” on page 127 for postupgrade

requirements and options.
