установка vmware на новый диск

[a.ustinov]

Есть сервер с esxi 6.0 Установлена на обычный hdd+storage из двух зеркальных томов.
Хочу поставить esxi 7.0 Если воткнуть флешку и провести установку на нее, не отключая старые диски, так сработает?
Подхватит ли esxi на флешке storage ранее подключенный в 6.0? Или при добавлении хранилища переформатирует?

Привет. Он по-моему тебе скажет что там есть уже esxi и предложит че с ним делать.

To upgrade VMware ESXi, you can use either the offline ISO method (which involves booting the host from an ESXi installer ISO to perform the upgrade) or the online method (using the ESXi command line to update software packages or using vSphere Lifecycle Manager via vSphere Client). Before you start, ensure you power off all virtual machines, place the host into maintenance mode, and perform a full backup of your configuration.

Method 1: ISO Method (For a few hosts)
This method involves using the ESXi installer ISO to upgrade an existing installation.

1. Back up: your ESXi host configuration and any critical data.
2. Power off: all virtual machines** on the host.
3. Enter maintenance mode: by right-clicking the host and selecting "Enter Maintenance Mode".
4. Boot: your ESXi host from the downloaded ESXi installer ISO file.
5. Select "Upgrade": when prompted to choose between a clean install or an upgrade.
6. Accept: the license agreement and press F11 to start the upgrade process.
7. Wait: for the upgrade to complete and then reboot the host.
8. Exit maintenance mode: and verify the new version.
   

Method 2: ESXi Command Line (Online Method)
This method involves using the esxcli command-line tool to download and install updates.

1. Back up: your ESXi host configuration.
2. Power off: all virtual machines and put the host into maintenance mode.
3. Copy: the downloaded ESXi update ZIP file to a host datastore.
4. Connect: to the host via SSH.
5. Run the command: to update from the depot: esxcli software vib update --depot /path/to/your/update.zip.
6. Reboot: the ESXi host for the changes to take effect.
7. Exit maintenance mode: and verify the new OS version.
   

Method 3: vSphere Lifecycle Manager (For vCenter environments)
If you have vSphere, you can use vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM).

1. Import: the ESXi patch to the vSphere Lifecycle Manager depot.
2. Create a baseline: for the upgrade.
3. Remediate: the ESXi hosts against the baseline to perform the upgrade.
