Prime Infrastructure and VM

dapgar

Please advise on the following for my Prime Infrastucture on a VM:

 

VM Hardware Compatibility

 

Upgrade Available

 

 

On VM: ESXi5.1 and later (version 9)

On Host: ESXi 6.7 and later (Version 14)

Upgrade to match Host

 

Can this upgrade be done with out causing interference with the nodes in production?

 

Thanks

It may work but you would be better to upgrade. Depending on how you are using your Prime, it may be easier to just export your devices and import into a fresh installation of 3.8 running on ESXi 6.7. You can backup and restore but that's a lot more complicated and takes much longer.

The officially supported ESXi versions for Prime Infrastructure 3.2 are 5.5 and 6.0.

Prime Infrastructure 3.6 and above (the current release is 3.8) support ESXi 6.7:

Your question is very unclear.

What is your current version? Do you want to upgrade and migrate to a new ESXi server?

On VM:  ESXi 5.1

 

On Host: ESXi 6.7

 

So can we upgrade the VM to 6.7 without uninstalling Prime Infrastructure, ISE-PAN, ISE-MandT, and ISE-PSA1 and 2?

 

That is the question that I am referring to in both of my community posts.

 

Thanks

Thank you Marvin.

I also have the same question for ISE, we have 4 VM's in the following configuration: 1 PAN, 1 M&T and 2 PSA's.
Can they run ESXi 6.7?

Thanks again for your assistance
