Upgrade Notes for This Release
For instructions about upgrading NSX components, see the NSX Upgrade Guide.
This release is not supported for NSX Cloud customers deployed with AWS/Azure workloads. Do not upgrade your environment in this scenario.
Note: Customers upgrading to NSX 3.2.1 or earlier are recommended to run the NSX Upgrade Evaluation Tool before starting the upgrade process. The tool is designed to ensure success by checking the health and readiness of your NSX Manager repository prior to upgrading. For customers upgrading to NSX 3.2.2 or later, the tool is already integrated into the Upgrade workflow as part of the upgrade pre-checks; no separate action is needed.
Upgrade Integration Issues Due to Download Site Decommission
The NSX upgrade experience is impacted due to the decommissioning of downloads.vmware.com. See knowledge base article 372634 before upgrading.
Available Languages
Beginning with the next major release, we will be reducing the number of supported localization languages. The three supported languages will be:
-
Japanese
-
Spanish
-
French
The following languages will no longer be supported:
-
Italian, German, Korean, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.
Impact:
-
Customers who have been using the deprecated languages will no longer receive updates or support in these languages.
-
All user interfaces, help documentation, and customer support will be available only in English or in the three supported languages mentioned above.
Because NSX localization utilizes the browser language settings, ensure that your settings match the desired language.
