Independent SDDC Manager Upgrade using the
SDDC Manager UI

Once
SDDC Manager
 is upgraded to 5.2 or later, new functionality is introduced that allows you to get the latest
SDDC Manager
 features and security fixes without having to upgrade the entire
VMware Cloud Foundation
 BOM. An independent
SDDC Manager
 release includes a fourth digit in its version number, for example
SDDC Manager
 5.2.0.1.
You can upgrade
SDDC Manager
 without upgrading the full VCF BOM when:
  • The target version of
    SDDC Manager
     is compatible with all the BOM product versions running in your current environment (management and workload domains).
  • There is a supported upgrade path from your current
    SDDC Manager
     version to the target
    SDDC Manager
     version.
You can use the
SDDC Manager
 upgrade functionality to upgrade
SDDC Manager
 even when the target version of
SDDC Manager
 is part of a full VCF BOM release, as long as it is compatible.
Updating
SDDC Manager
 without upgrading the full VCF BOM, does not change the version of the management domain.
  1. In the navigation pane, browse to
    Lifecycle Management
    SDDC Manager
    .
    The UI displays available
    SDDC Manager
     updates that are either
    SDDC Manager
     only updates or
    SDDC Manager
     updates that are part of a full VCF BOM update.
  2. Review and address any compatibility warnings.
  3. Click
    Run Precheck
    .
    Resolve any precheck issues before proceeding.
  4. Schedule the update to run now or at a specific time and click
    Start Update
    .
    When the update completes successfully, you are logged out of the
    SDDC Manager UI
     and must log in again.
