You can update your vRealize Business for Cloud 7.x.x virtual appliance from an ISO file that the appliance reads from the virtual CD-ROM drive.
Prerequisites
- Take a snapshot of the virtual appliance.
- Verify that you have downloaded the updated ISO file from the VMware.com website.
- Add a CD-ROM drive to a virtual machine in the vCenter Server client. For more information, see the Configure a Datastore ISO File for the DVD/CD-ROM Drive topic in the vSphere Client topic in the vSphere documentation.
Note: Before updating the vRealize Automation appliances, enable all CD-ROM drives you use in your upgrade.
