Upgrading / Migrating from vSphere 5.x to 6.x (6.5 , 6.7) , 7.x best practices & Approach
Migrating and Upgrading physical systems is night mare, However with VMWare vSphere its not that complicated, a proper planning will always leads to successful migration from vSphere 5.x to 6.x without any downtime for the VM’s. Some cases might need downtime for VM’s which is described in this post. I would recommend to go through the complete post as this is the same process or approach for all the vSphere migrations irrespective of the versions.
vSphere 5.0 and 5.1 support already ended on 24 August 2016, vSphere 5.5 support going to end on 19 sept 2018. But there are many environments still running on 5.0 and 5.1 as well. Its the high time to upgrade to latest vSphere 6.x now. We will detail every single step to be considered for a successful migration in this post.
