You must upgrade the database and configure all systems that have IaaS components installed. You can use these steps for minimal and distributed installations.
About this task
If you have multiple IaaS servers, perform the upgrade so that services are upgraded in the following order:
Websites
If you are using a load balancer, disable all Websites for load balancer traffic except the Website on which Model Manager data is install. Upgrade the Website on which Model Manager data is installed first.
Finish the upgrade on one server before upgrading the next server that is running a Website service.
Manager services
Upgrade the active manager service before you upgrade the passive manager service and reboot the system where the passive manager service is installed.
DEM orchestrator and workers
Upgrade all DEM orchestrators and workers. Finish the upgrade on one server before you upgrade the next server.
Agents
Finish the upgrade on one server before you upgrade the next server that is running an agent.
If you are using different services on one server, the upgrade updates the services in the proper order. For example, if your site has Website and manager services on the same server, select both for update. The upgrade installer applies the updates in the proper order. You must complete the upgrade on one server before you begin an upgrade on another.
If your deployment uses a load balancer, the first appliance you plan to upgrade must be connected to the load balancer. All other instances of vRealize Appliance appliances must be disabled for load balancer traffic before you apply the upgrade to avoid caching errors.
