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/index.html.

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

Note: Do not add or delete NSX Manager nodes during an upgrade.

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