You can use the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager API to upgrade products installed in your vRealize Suite environment. Before upgrading, you pre-validate the upgrade request. If the pre-validation check indicates no issues with the upgrade, it is safe to proceed with the upgrade.
Procedure
Create Product Upgrade Request You create a product upgrade request using the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager API . Then you use the output from the request to pre-validate and upgrade any vRealize Suite product deployed in your environment.
Assessing vRealize Operations Manager Before Upgrading If vRealize Operations Manager is deployed in your vRealize Suite environment, run an assessment to check for pre-version 6.7 metrics. After running the assessment, you patch the request for the vRealize Operations Manager upgrade.
Pre-Validate Product Upgrade Before upgrading a product in your vRealize Suite environment, you can pre-validate the product upgrade request to identify issues that can possibly cause an upgrade failure.
Retrieve Pre-Validation Report for Product Upgrade After a pre-validation request finishes successfully, you can retrieve a pre-validation report. Any checks with status FAILED indicate potential problems with the product upgrade. Before proceeding with the upgrade, you should address the issues and pre-validate the upgrade request again.
Patch Product Upgrade Request Then Upgrade Using a single PATCH request, you can pre-validate the upgrade request for a product deployed in your vRealize Suite environment and trigger a product upgrade. If the pre-validation fails, the product upgrade does not start.
