The supported upgrade paths for the NSX product versions.
Adhere to the following upgrade paths for each NSX release version.
- NSX 3.1.x > NSX 4.0.x.
- NSX 3.2.x > NSX 4.0.x.
Note: Upgrade from
NSX 3.2.2 to 4.0.1 or 4.0.1.1 is not supported. The reason is that the General Availability (GA) of
NSX 3.2.2 happened after the GA of
NSX versions 4.0.1 and 4.0.1.1. Some capabilities and important fixes in
NSX 3.2.2 might not be available in versions 4.0.1 or 4.0.1.1 due to the chronological order in which these versions were released.
