ESXi 8.0 Upgrade in three ways - ISO, command line, and vSphere Lifecycle Manager

hello guys , can i know if vsphere 8 license work for vsphere 7 , or any suggesstions down the line is much appreciated, thank you 😃

How about paste here the commands u used ?

Thank you!

That was awesome, I've been pondering for some time about possibilities of upgrading and always that fear with so many VM's. Am I correct in saying that the bootable ISO method would work with "Custom ISO" I use the Dell one currently (7.0 going to 7.0 3). or future reference will your 2nd method using CLI work using the Dell custom. Thanks for any response(s).

@virtualizationhowto i have a question what if you have existing servers runnning or have on your host will the upgrade delete those servers? the servers that i have running are critical

You convinced me that a HERO really don't need a cape..... You are my Hero 😃

I'm getting an error when using the cli method: '<urlopen error [Errno -2] Name or service not known>')). This is what I get when I use the url provided in the second command entered for the cli process. Any ideas?

does anyone knows if my licences from V7 hosts will work on V8 ? Also for VCenter7 to V8?

Thanks

Perfect

my component isnt in the list, how do i add the component to the list?

How can I get a copy of the VMWare ESXI 8. I have been searching but to no avail. When ESXI 7 came out, I got that quite easily on VMware website, but apparently this is not the case with ESXI 8.

Great video. Thanks.

You did mention anything about licensing.

can an esxi 7 free license be used? Or do you have to get a new one?
Currently ESXi 8 free license generation is broken as per the VMWare site

Works well!! DANKEEE

Management port 5480 page is not working at version 8, after upgrade from version 7. Any recommendations?
