Parę dni temu Vmware wypuściło nową aktualizacje dla vCenter 6.5. A w dzisiejszym wpisie skupię się jak zaktualizować VCSA które mamy uruchomione w natywnym HA. Poniżej 8 kroków które wykonamy podczas aktualizacji naszego vCenter.
Krok 1
Musimy ściągnąć ze strony Vmware plik iso z najnowszymi aktualizacjami
następnie wgrywamy go na datastore z którego będziemy mogli pod montować do naszych serwerów podłączyć
- vCenter,
- vCenter – peer
- vCenter Witnes
Krok 2
Wprowadzamy nasze vCenter w tryb maintenance przechodzimy do vCenter –> Configure –> vCenter HA i klikamy Edit
gdzie wybieramy Maintenance Mode
klikamy ok i przechodzimy do kolejnego kroku.
Krok 3
w tym kroku montujemy ściągnięte ISO z poprawkami do każdego z 3 serwerów
Edytujemy wirtualną maszynę w polu CD/DVD wybieramy Datastore ISO File
wybieramy nasze wgrane ISO, klikamy OK
na koniec klikamy w pole wyboru Connected aby podłączyć CD/DVD do serwera
Krok 4
Logujemy się na adres publiczny naszego vCenter z niego przeskakujemy do vCenter Wintnes

z tego poziomu wykonujemy komendę “software-packages stage –iso –acceptEulas” która pod montuje cdrom oraz wykona staging naszego vCenter pod względem aktualizacji
Command> software-packages stage --iso --acceptEulas [2017-06-17T13:15:30.168] : ISO mounted successfully [2017-06-17T13:15:31.168] : Staged 32 packages.

po zakończeniu wykonujemy komendę “software-packages install –staged –acceptEulas” która spowoduje zainstalowanie aktualizacji

po zakończeniu wykonujemy restart oraz wychodzimy z połączenia SSH

tym sposobem mamy zaktualizowany nasz serwer Wintnes.
Krok 5
tym kroku będziemy aktualizować serwer który jest pasive mode, logujemy się do niego po ssh

Oczekujemy ok 30 min aby wystartowało pasywne vCenter,
Krok 6
Po uruchomieni ostatniego serwera przechodzimy do naszego vCenter przełączamy nody wybierając Initiate Failover
Krok 7
przełączeniu logujemy się po SSH na aktywny vCenter i następnie przeskakujemy na pasywny node vCenter oraz wykonujemy na nim komendy

Krok 8
Ostatnim krokiem będzie wyjście z Maintenance Mode z poziomu Web Clienta
I tym sposobem mamy zaktualizowane vCenter w HA do najnowszej wersji.
