After you finish the prerequisites for upgrading, your next step is to update the upgrade coordinator to initiate the upgrade process.

NSX Intelligence and NSX Application Platform Note:

For information about upgrading NSX Intelligence version 1.2.x and earlier to NSX Intelligence version 3.2 and later, see the Activating and Upgrading VMware NSX Intelligence documentation at https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-NSX-Intelligence/index.html.

For information about upgrading NSX Application Platform, see the Deploying and Managing the VMware NSX Application Platform documentation at https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-NSX-T-Data-Center/index.html.

After the upgrade, based on your input, the upgrade coordinator updates the hosts, NSX Edge cluster, and Management plane.

You can use REST APIs to upgrade your NSX-T Data Center appliance. Identify the NSX-T Data Center version you are upgrading to. Refer to the API guide with your product version in code.vmware.com to find the latest upgrade-related APIs.
