Configure Hosts
You can customize the upgrade sequence of the hosts, disable certain hosts from the upgrade, or pause the upgrade at various stages of the upgrade process.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Serial | Upgrade all the host upgrade unit groups consecutively. This selection is useful to maintain the step-by-step upgrade of the host components. . |
| Parallel | Upgrade all the host upgrade unit groups simultaneously. You can upgrade up to five hosts simultaneously. |
| When an upgrade unit fails to upgrade | Select to pause the upgrade process if any host upgrade fails. |
| After each group completes | Select to pause the upgrade process after each host upgrade unit group finishes upgrading. |
Manage Host Upgrade Unit Groups
Hosts in a ESXi cluster appear in one host upgrade unit group in the upgrade coordinator. You can move these hosts from one host upgrade unit group to another host upgrade unit group.
Upgrade Hosts
- Click Start to upgrade the hosts.
- Click Refresh and monitor the upgrade process.
- Click Run Post Checks to make sure that the upgraded hosts and NSX-T Data Center do not have any problems.
