By using the VMware Cloud Provider Lifecycle Manager UI, you can upgrade VMware Cloud Director, vRealize Operations Manager Tenant App, RabbitMQ, and vCloud Usage Meter.

The VMware Cloud Provider Lifecycle Manager upgrade process consists of two phases - validation and product upgrade. When you initiate the product upgrade, by default, VMware Cloud Provider Lifecycle Manager runs a validation before starting the product upgrade.
