Explanation: Upgrade Options for ESXi 6.0
VMware provides several ways to upgrade ESXi 5.x hosts to ESXi 6.0 hosts.
The details and level of support for an upgrade to ESXi 6.0 depend on the host to be upgraded and the upgrade method that you use. Verify support for the upgrade path from your current version of ESXi to the version to which you are upgrading. See VMware Product Interoperability Matrixes athttp:// www.vmware.com/ resources/compatibility/sim/interop_matrix.php.
You can upgrade a ESXi 5.x host, asynchronously released driver or other third-party customizations, interactive upgrade from CD or DVD, scripted upgrade, or upgrade with vSphere Update Manager. When you upgrade an ESXi 5.x host that has custom VIBs to version 6.0, the custom VIBs are migrated. See Upgrading
Hosts That Have Third-Party Custom VIBs.
Methods supported for direct upgrade to ESXi 6.0 are:
• vSphere Update Manager.
• Interactive upgrade from CD, DVD, or USB drive.
• Scripted upgrade.
• vSphere Auto Deploy. If the ESXi 5.x host was deployed by using vSphere Auto Deploy, you can use vSphere Auto Deployto reprovision the host with an ESXi 6.0 image. • The esxcli command.
