Upgrade vCenter Server Separately by Using Custom Install

You can upgrade vCenter Server separately after installing vCenter Single Sign-On, and upgrading

Inventory Service.

Alternatively, you can upgrade vCenter Server as part of a Simple Install. See “Use Simple Install to

Upgrade vCenter Server and Required Components,” on page 65 and “How vCenter Single Sign-On Affects

vCenter Server Upgrades,” on page 32.

This procedure requires downtime for the vCenter Server that you are upgrading. You do not need to turn

off virtual machines.

If an earlier version of vCenter Server is on your machine, the vCenter Server installer detects and upgrades

it. If the upgrade fails, no automatic rollback occurs to the previous vCenter Server version.

NOTE vCenter Server 5.5 supports connection between vCenter Server and vCenter Server components by

IP address only if the IP address is IPv4-compliant. To connect to a vCenter Server system in an IPv6

environment, you must use the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or host name of the vCenter Server.

The best practice is to use the FQDN, which works in all cases, instead of the IP address, which can change if

assigned by DHCP.
