Upgrade a
VMware Aria Suite
 Product

You can use
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
 to upgrade
VMware Aria Suite
 product installations.
Verify that the
VMware Aria Suite
 product to upgrade is part of a
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
 private cloud environment, and take a snapshot of the product that you can revert to in the event that something goes wrong with the upgrade. See Create and manage a product snapshot.
  1. On the
    Lifecycle Operations
     page, click
    Manage Environments
    .
  2. Click
    VIEW DETAILS
     for the environment the product to upgrade is part of.
  3. Click the ellipses (...) icon next to the name of the product to upgrade and select
    Upgrade
     from the drop-down menu.
  4. Choose a product version to upgrade to.
  5. If you are upgrading
    VMware Aria Automation
     or
    vRealize Business for Cloud
    , choose whether to upgrade from the
    Default
     repository, the
    VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
    Repository
    , or a manually-entered
    Repository URL
    .
  6. If you are upgrading
    VMware Aria Operations for Logs
     or
    VMware Aria Operations
    , choose whether to upgrade from the
    VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
    Repository
    , or a manually-entered
    Repository URL
    , and then select the
    Product Version
    .
  7. Click
    Next
    .
  8. Select a
    Snapshot
     option.
    • Take product snapshot
      If the
      Take product snapshot
       option is set to true, and the snapshot is taken prior to an upgrade which can be rolled back to its initial state during an upgrade failure, the snapshot is taken with the prefix
      LCM_AUTOGENERATED
      .
    • Retain product snapshot taken
      If the
      Retain product snapshot taken
       option is set to true, it is retained and can be reverted back to the previous version after a successful upgrade.
    • When you select a snapshot, it powers off the product VMs prior to taking the snapshot. This involves a period of downtime.
    • If your upgrade fails, you can roll back by using the
      Revert Snapshot
       option. This is only applicable for a failed upgrade or a scale out request. If you have chosen to take snapshot as an option and your upgrade fails, the
      Snapshot Rollback
       action runs a new request to roll back to the initial state. Select the ellipsis (...) in the
      Requests
       page to access the
      Snapshot Rollback
       action.
  9. Click
    RUN PRECHECK
    . After a successful pre-check, you can view the upgrade summary and click
    Upgrade
    .
    If you have upgraded a
    VMware Aria Suite
     product outside of
    VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
    , then
    VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
     will not reflect the latest product version or the latest data of the upgraded product. At such instances you must delete the
    VMware Aria Suite
     product (the product that is already upgraded to the newer version outside of
    VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
    ) from
    VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
     only, and then re-import the same product so that
    VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
     can fetch the latest state and newer version of the product.
    After upgrade, some requests might prevent the upgraded services to start. The
    VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
     UI displays a maintenance mode message. If this occurs, restart the xenon server. If the issue still persists, delete the error request and restart xenon.
You can view the progress of the upgrade on the
Requests
 tab.
