BE7000 Upgrade from ESXi 5.1 to ESXi 6.0

[Marc De Serio]

We are looking to do an in place upgrade for our host.

Servers on the host:

CUCM 10.5, Unity 10.5, UCCX 10.6.1, Socialminer.

I haven't been able to find any documentation on upgrading to 6.0.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you mean you haven't been able to find that documentation at cisco.com, that's because all the docs related to upgrading ESXi, are in VMWare's site.

I understand that the documents for upgrading VMware are on their site. I want to make sure that it is as simple as doing the upgrade, and that I am not missing anything that might break the host.

Hi,

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/BE6000/hypervisor/CUCM_BK_BBE47946_00_be6000-hypervisor-upgrade.html
Even if this documentation does not describe the same upgrade than the one you are preparing it could be useful. Make sure you have the license for ESXi 6.x and also check that the CIMC version is in the matrix of UCS/ESXi support.
