About migrating vSphere 5.5

If you are using the official image template for the dedicated hypervisor, please follow the steps below to migrate from vSphere 5.5 to vSphere 6.x.

 

(1)About upgrading vCenter Server 5.5

If you are using vCenter Server 5.5, you need to upgrade vCenter Server to 6.x series before upgrading vSphere ESXi 5.5.

(3)Virtual machine migration

Stop and migrate the virtual machine on vSphere ESXi 5.5 on the newly deployed vSphere ESXi 6.x hypervisor.

(4)Removal of the dedicated hypervisor for vSphere ESXi 5.5

Remove the existing vSphere ESXi 5.5 dedicated hypervisor.

Thank you.
