解析度

警告：

尽管可以使用不同的升级路径，并且可以成功完成升级，但是VMware不建议使用其中的某些拓扑。
如果您的服务分布在多台计算机上，则升级必须顺序执行，而不是同时进行。

有关分步说明，请查看FeatureWalkthrough-6.5 和 vSphereCentral 文档。

部署模型

要确定要升级到的部署模型，请参阅 VMware vSphere 6.5支持和不推荐使用的拓扑（2147672）。建议在升级到vSphere 6.5之前从不建议使用的支持拓扑迁移。有关更多信息，请参见《vSphere升级指南》中的“ 在升级或迁移之前从不赞成使用的vCenter Server部署拓扑迁移到支持的vCenter Server部署”部分。

注意： vSphere 6.5不再支持在vSphere域中的站点之间重新分配vCenter Server。

在多个维护Windows上分阶段升级

如果您具有复杂的vSphere 5.x或6.0环境，则可能希望在多个维护时段内升级vSphere环境。可以分阶段升级vSphere环境。

这些是升级的一般顺序：

一次升级每个vCenter Single Sign-On或Platform Services Controller。

注意：对于5.5，仅当vCenter Single Sign-On安装在与vCenter Server不在同一台计算机上时。
一次升级一个vCenter Server。
一次升级每个ESXi主机一个。

有关每个过渡步骤（包括图表）的更多信息，请参见《vSphere升级指南》中的“ 升级或迁移顺序以及多个vCenter Server实例部署的混合版本过渡行为”部分。

Windows的vCenter Server要求

警告：vCenter Server 6.5使用在安装过程中自动创建并添加到本地安全策略中的多个本地用户的“ 批处理登录”权限。如果删除此权限，服务将无法启动。确保GPO不会覆盖此权限。有关更多信息，请参见：

错误“登录失败：未在此计算机上为用户授予所请求的登录类型”（2148054）
《vSphere安装和设置指南》的 “ vCenter Server for Windows要求”部分。

要将vCenter Server安装在Windows虚拟机或物理服务器上，您的系统必须满足特定的硬件和软件要求。

有关更多信息，请参见：

《vSphere安装指南》中的“ vCenter Server for Windows要求”部分。
《vSphere安装指南》中的“ vSphere网络上的时钟同步”部分。
《vSphere安装指南》中的“ 系统日志记录所需的可用空间”部分。

vCenter Server Appliance要求

升级到vSphere 6.5之前，请确保查看以下部分中的重要信息：

《vSphere安装指南》中的“ vCenter Server Appliance要求”部分。
《vSphere安装指南》中的“ vSphere网络上的时钟同步”部分。
《vSphere升级指南》中的“ vCenter Server Appliance 升级”部分。

从适用于Windows的vCenter Server迁移到vCenter Server Appliance

升级到6.5版时，可以将Windows上的vCenter Server安装迁移到vCenter Server Appliance安装。

有关更多信息，请参见：

《vSphere升级指南》中的“将vCenter Server部署迁移到vCenter Server Appliance部署的系统要求”部分。
《vSphere升级指南》中的“ 迁移vCenter Server，vCenter Single Sign-On和Platform Services Controller”的前提条件。
《vSphere升级指南》中的“ 已知限制”部分。

注意事项：

vSphere Web Client 6.5需要Adobe Flash Player 16或更高版本。有关更多信息，请参见《vSphere安装和设置指南》中的《vSphere Web Client软件要求》部分。

Deployment Models

To determine the deployment model that you want to upgrade to, see Supported and deprecated topologies for VMware vSphere 6.5 (2147672). It is recommended to migrate off of a deprecated support topology before upgrading to vSphere 6.5. For more information, see the Moving from a Deprecated to a Supported vCenter Server Deployment Topology Before Upgrade or Migration section of the vSphere Upgrade Guide.

Caution: Repointing vCenter Server between Sites in a vSphere Domain is no longer supported in vSphere 6.5.

Staged upgrade across multiple maintenance Windows

If you have a complex vSphere 5.x or 6.0 environment, you may prefer to upgrade your vSphere environment over the course of several maintenance windows. It is possible to upgrade the vSphere environment in stages.

These are the general order of the upgrades:

Upgrade each vCenter Single Sign-On or Platform Services Controller one at a time.

Note: For 5.5, only if vCenter Single Sign-On is installed on a separate machine than vCenter Server.
Upgrade each vCenter Server one at a time.
Upgrade each ESXi host one at a time.

For more information about each transition step including diagrams, see the Upgrade or Migration Order and Mixed-Version Transitional Behavior for Multiple vCenter Server Instance Deployments section in the vSphere Upgrade Guide.

vCenter Server for Windows requirements

Caution: vCenter Server 6.5 uses the Log on as batch job permission for several local users that are automatically created during installation and are added to the local security policy. If this permission is removed services will fails to start. Ensure that GPO's do not override this permission. For more information, see:

Error "Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer" (2148054)
The vCenter Server for Windows Requirements section of the vSphere Installation and Setup guide.

To install vCenter Server on a Windows virtual machine or physical server, your system must meet specific hardware and software requirements.

For more information, see:

vCenter Server for Windows Requirements section in the vSphere Installation Guide.
Synchronizing Clocks on the vSphere network section in the vSphere Installation Guide.
Required free space for system logging section in the vSphere Installation Guide.
VMware Solution/Database Interoperability Matrix

vCenter Server Appliance requirements

Before upgrading to vSphere 6.5, ensure to review the important information in these sections:

vCenter Server Appliance Requirements section in the vSphere Installation Guide.
Synchronizing Clocks on the vSphere network section in the vSphere Installation Guide.
Upgrading the vCenter Server Appliance section in the vSphere Upgrade Guide.

Migrating from vCenter Server for Windows to the vCenter Server Appliance

It is possible to migrate a vCenter Server installation on Windows to a vCenter Server Appliance installation while upgrading to version 6.5.

For more information, see:

System Requirements for Migrating vCenter Server Deployments to vCenter Server Appliance Deployments section in the vSphere Upgrade Guide.
Prerequisites for Migrating vCenter Server, vCenter Single Sign-On, and Platform Services Controller section in the vSphere Upgrade Guide.
Known Limitations section in the vSphere Upgrade Guide.

Notes:

The vSphere Web Client 6.5 requires Adobe Flash Player 16 or later. For more information, see the vSphere Web Client Software Requirement section in the vSphere Installation and Setup Guide.
