ESXi 6.7 to ESXi 7 Upgrade

Merhaba,

ESXi 6.7 to ESXi 7 Upgrade isimli bu yazımda sizlere ESXi 6.7 ‘den ESXi 7 versiyonuna nasıl upgrade yapılacağını anlatacağım. ESXi 7 versiyonuna upgrade etmeden dikkat etmeniz gereken bazı konular bulunmaktadır. Sizlere bu makalemde dikkat etmeniz gereken konularıda ayrıca yazacağım.

Upgrade işlemine başlamadan önce, ilk olarak aşağıdaki makalemi okumanızı tavsiye ederim.

vCenter Server 7 Upgrade Öncesi

ESXi 7 versiyonuna upgrade yapabilmeniz için minimum ESXi 6.5 versiyonuna sahip olmanız gerekiyor. Eğer ESXi 6.0 veya ESXi 5.5 versiyonuna sahipseniz bunları upgrade etmeniz gerekiyor. ESXi, fiziksel bir sunucu üzerine kurulduğu için yapacağınız ugprade işlemi sonucunda donanımınızın ESXi 7 tarafından support edilip edilmediğini görmeniz gerekiyor.  Aşağıda belirteceğim yöntem ile ESXi 6.5 versiyonundan ESXi 7 versiyonuna upgrade gerçekleştirebilirsiniz.

ESXi upgrade’ine başlamadan önce vSphere yapınızda başka VMware çözümleri veya eklentileri var ise bunların uyumluluğunu kontrol etmelisiniz. Bu kontrol işlemini aşağıdaki link’den yapabilirsiniz.

https://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/sim/interop_matrix.php

ESXi host upgrade’ine başlamadan önce ESXi ‘ın yüklü olduğu datastore’da yeterli free alan bulunduğundan emin olun. Eğer upgrade edeceğiniz ESXi host’a bir SAN bağlı ise fiber kabo’ları ESXi host üzerinden çekin. Bunu yapmak yerine bazen BIOS üzerinden HBA kart’ı devre dışı bırakabiliyorlar. BIOS üzerinden asla HBA’yı devre dışı bırakmayın. ESXi upgrade esnasında datastore olarak karşınıza HBA’dan bağlı datastore’ları getirebilir. Bu karışıklığın önüne geçmek için kabloları çekmeniz sizin için faydalı olacaktır.

ESXi 7 upgrade nasıl yapılır?

Şimdi ESXi host upgrade edilirken genellikle 2 farklı yöntem kullanılıyor. Bunlar;

• ISO ile upgrade
• Depot dosyası ile upgrade (esxcli)

ESXi 6.7 to ESXi 7 Upgrade

ESXi 6.5 to ESXi 7 Upgrade

ESXi 7 download ISO için aşağıdaki link’i kullanabilirsiniz.

https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=ESXI700&productId=974&rPId=44114

Indirmiş olduğunuz ISO dosyasını fiziksel sunucunuza mount ettiğinizde bu ISO’dan boot ederseniz, ESXi kurulumuna tekrar giriş yaparsınız. Burada karşınıza 3 adet seçenek çıkar.

Yukarıdaki ekran ile karşılaştığınızda upgrade ESXi, preserve VMFS datastore seçeneğini seçerek ESXi host’u upgrade edebilirsiniz. ISO ile upgrade seçeneği oldukça basit ve klasik bir yöntemdir. Installation wizard’ı zaten size otomatik olarak upgrade yaptıracaktır.

ESXi host’u upgrade etmenin bir diğer yolu ise depot dosyası ile esxcli üzerinden yani komut satırından upgrade işleminin yapılmasıdır. Bunun için öncelikle aşağıdakil ink’den VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) Offline Bundle isimli dosyayı indiriyoruz.

https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=ESXI700&productId=974&rPId=44114

Bu dosyayı indirdikten sonra ilk olarak upgrade edeceğimiz ESXi host’un datastore’una upload ediyoruz. Daha sonra ESXi host’un SSH’ına bağlanıyoruz.

İlk olarak vmware -vl komutunu çalıştırıyorum ve mevcut ESXi sürürümünü öğreniyorum. Ardından aşağıdaki komutu çalıştırıyoruz.

[root@localhost:~] vmware -vl
VMware ESXi 6.7.0 build-8169922
VMware ESXi 6.7.0 GA
[root@localhost:~] esxcli software profile update -p ESXi-7.0.0-15843807-standard -d /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/VMware-ESXi-7.0.0-15843807-depot.zip

esxcli software profile update -p komutundan sonra upgrade etmek istediğiniz versiyonun image profile bilgisini girmeniz gerekiyor. Bunun için aşağıdaki siteyi kullanabilirsiniz.

https://www.virten.net/vmware/vmware-esxi-image-profiles/

ESXi 7 GA sürümü yeni release olduğu için ben bu verisyona upgrade ediyorum ve bundan dolayı bu makalede ESXi-7.0.0-15843807-standard image profile’ini kullanıyorum.

Komutları doğru bir şekilde yazdıktan sonra zaten karşınıza yukarıdaki gibi bir ekran çıkacaktır.

[root@localhost:~] vmware -vl
VMware ESXi 6.7.0 build-8169922
VMware ESXi 6.7.0 GA
[root@localhost:~] esxcli software profile update -p ESXi-7.0.0-15843807-standard -d /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/VMware-ESXi-7.0.0-15843807-depot.zip

[root@localhost:~] reboot

Yukarıdaki gibi bir komut çıktısı gördükten sonra ESXi host’u reboot etmemiz gerekiyor. ESXi host’u reboot ettikten sonra ESXi 7 versiyonuna upgrade işlemi tamamlanmış olacaktır.

Upgrade tamamlandıktan sonra Browser’a login olup ESXi 7 versiyonuna upgrade olduğunu görebilirsiniz.

Şunu belirtmek istiyorum. ESXi upgrade versiyonunu eğer bir vCenter Server kullanıyorsanız Update Manager ile de gerçekleştirebiilrsiniz. Update Manager ile ilgili aşağıdaki makalemi inceleyeblirsiniz.

VMware Update Manager Nedir?

Umarım faydalı olmuştur.

İyi çalışmalar.
