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.
