Upgrading vSphere Integrated Containers

You can only upgrade vSphere Integrated Containers from version 1.3.x or 1.4.x to 1.5.x, or from 1.5.x to a later 1.5.y update release. You cannot upgrade any release earlier than 1.3.x to 1.5.x.

You upgrade vSphere Integrated Containers in three stages:

Upgrade the vSphere Integrated Containers Appliance

Upgrading the appliance upgrades both vSphere Integrated Containers Registry and vSphere Integrated Containers Management portal. By default, upgrading the appliance also upgrades the vSphere Integrated Containers plug-in for the vSphere Client.

Upgrade Virtual Container Hosts

After you have upgraded the appliance, you can download the new version of the vSphere Integrated Containers Engine bundle. Then, you can use vic-machine to upgrade your virtual container hosts (VCHs) individually.

For information about upgrading VCHs, see Upgrade Virtual Container Hosts.

Upgrade the vSphere Client Plug-In

By default the vSphere Integrated Containers plug-in for the vSphere Client is upgraded automatically when you upgrade the appliance. If you choose not to upgrade the plug-in at the same time as the appliance, you can do so later by reinitializing the appliance.

For information about upgrading the vSphere Client plug-in, see Reinitialize the vSphere Integrated Containers Appliance.
