I'm trying to upgrade ESXi 6.0 to 6.7U2 but when try to do it from Prism im getting errors on DRS not enabled. Now we don't have DRS license, our cluster is ESXi 6.0 Standard License, is there any way to do the upgrade without the needs of DRS ?I read few documents that even if i try to use vCenter Update manager update will fail becasue DRS is not enabled. Any workaround solution ?

One click upgrades require DRS so that machines can vmotion from host to host and isolate the host receiving the upgrade. If you do not have DRS capabilities, you can use VUM to upgrade a host, or upgrade it manually, you will not be able to use one-click upgrades. Keeping in mind, that you will need to vacate the host of vms, and shut down the CVM on that host and then place the host in maintenance mode. I would always recommend filing a feature request with Nutanix Support for the ability to leverage one-click upgrades with your license type. We have done the same for our 36 ROBO clusters that have licenses that do not include DRS. We have to upgrade 100+ nodes manually and we spend a week plus doing upgrades for hypervisor, firmware, etc... because of this limitation. If you can sustain the outage, you can shutdown your vms and place all nodes into maintenance mode and kick off the upgrade from VUM of your vcenter is on a different cluster and can still reach the hosts. This would be faster, but would create an outage while the hosts upgrade. You also don't get the peace of mind of only one node going sideways.

I know this is a month old, but I can say how I got around this recently. LCM 2.3 was able to do it without DRS. It didn’t ask if it was enabled or anything. Be careful with these upgrades though. I ran into another bug upgrading from 6.0 to 6.7u2, specifically. VMware will break it’s own SSH service. We all know how much Nutanix and CVM’s need that SSH, so it can bring a node to a halt.SSH service does not respond after upgrading from ESXi 6.x to 6.7 U2

ESXI6.0升级为6.7U2,但从Prism获取错误时不启动现在没有DRS牌照, 集群ESXI6.0标准牌照,
少数文档显示,即使我尝试使用 vCenter更新管理器更新失败有变通解决之道吗

点击升级需要DRS系统,机器从主机推位到主机位并隔离接收升级的主机如果您没有dRS能力,可使用VUM升级主机或人工升级,您将无法使用单击升级记住,你需要腾空 vms宿主并关闭主机CVM

我总推荐向Nutanix支持提交特效请求以提升使用许可类型一击升级的能力我们对36ROBO集群也做了同样工作,这些集群有不包括DRS的牌照。上百+节点手工升级并花一周加升级超视像机、固件等因此限制

如果您能持续停机,您可以关闭 vms并把所有节点置入维护模式并启动VUM升级速度会更快,但在主机升级时会造成停机无法平和思维只有一个节点去侧路

rncenter从VUM上启动升级后仍可达主机速度会更快,但在主机升级时会造成停机偏偏偏偏偏偏偏偏偏一节点上转转道 quote用户名 :dubuque 翻译 :{scountries:{slips

Vcenter在这个集群上运行,我们不能同时把主机全部拆下,
but,如果我正确理解,我可以做TroughVUM一主机使用此程序

将Esxi主机中运行的所有VM转至集群中的另一主机
关闭CVM
置主机为人性模式
运行VUM升级

并照样为其他主机工作,对吗?

差不多就是这样读取VUM升级过程并适当配置它, 高层次即阶梯支持可能非常乐于帮助升级

谢谢 @ddubuque

等待先聊天Nutanix支持

我知道这是一个月前, 但我可以说我最近是如何绕过它。 LCM2.3没有DRS就可以实现它。它不问它是否启动或什么的。小心这些升级。我从6.0到6.7u2再次运行错误升级。VMware会破解它自己的SSH服务。我们都知道Nutanix和CVM需要多少SSH,这样它就能中断节点

ssh服务从ESXi6.x升级为6.7U2后不响应
