For a full list of options please consult the documentation. The JSON prompts for information such as thin provisioning, deployment size, inventory name, ssh status, temporary IP information and which user options you wish to migrate. We recommend using core as it will just move the configuration and inventory. The next section covers configuring the vCenter Server Appliance 6.7.
#VMWARE VCENTER SERVER 6 STANDARD UPGRADE#
When upgrading from vSphere 6.5 to vSphere 6.7 the upgrade is not done in place, we deploy a brand new vCenter Server 6.7 and import the configuration from the vCenter Server 6.5 appliance. This will ask for for information on where you want to deploy the new vCenter Server Appliance 6.7. Here you will enter in the hostname, username, password, deployment network, datacenter, datastore, vm folder and cluster for the destination vCenter Server. The first section we will look at is the section for the destination vCenter Server (VC). Here is an example of the JSON we will use, it is to upgrade an embedded vCenter Server 6.5 to vCenter Server 6.7. When looking at this template first it may seem overwhelming but do not worry we will cover each section in more depth. To access the CLI JSON templates we first need to navigate to our vCenter Server Appliance ISO and browse to the vcsa-cli-installer folder. Within this folder will be a folder called templates, and then we will drill down to the upgrade template for vcsa6.5. Once here you can see there are different templates for Embedded and External Deployments as well as if you will deploy your new VCSA to an ESXi host or VC. You can read more about the JSON configuration file within our documentation.
#VMWARE VCENTER SERVER 6 STANDARD HOW TO#

#VMWARE VCENTER SERVER 6 STANDARD UPDATE#
You cannot currently upgrade from vSphere 6.5 Update 2d to vSphere 6.7. Prior to upgrading your vCenter Server we should make sure we have a supported upgrade path. This walkthrough will educate you on how to use the VCSA CLI installer to upgrade an Embedded vCenter Server from vSphere 6.5 to vSphere 6.7 Here you can find out the differences between these vSphere editions.Upgrading vCenter Server 6.5 to vCenter Server 6.7 using VCSA CLI

#VMWARE VCENTER SERVER 6 STANDARD INSTALL#
Remember that vSphere is a suite of products, just like Microsoft Office (a suite of office products such as Word, Excel, Access), and not a single product that you can install in your environment. People new to the VMware’s virtualization platform sometimes get confused in dealing with vSphere and its components. It also supports some advanced virtualization features such as disaster recovery, high availability, fault tolerance, dynamic resource allocation, etc. vSphere is used to virtualize and aggregate the underlying physical hardware resources and to provide the pool of virtual resources to the data center. vSphere components provide virtualization, management, resource optimization and many other features useful for a virtual environment. VMware vSphere is a software suite that includes components like ESXi, vCenter Server, vSphere Client, vCenter Orchestrator, vSphere Update Manager, etc.
