Upgrade and increased use of fashion related to two embedded vCenter 5 installs

Hi all

I have a question. I would like to upgrade our vCenter 5.5 to 6.0 update1 and at the same time instances to begin to use related methods improved.

Currently, we only use modes related to 5.5, but we would like to use in the 6.0.

The two vCenter running 5.5 are shipped installed (vCenter + SSO in the same VM).

VMware vCenter Server 6.0 Deployment Guide, I read and I find anywhere a upgrade path for our scenario.

In my lab at home, I managed to install 2 CSP between a CITRIX Netscaler and 2 vCenters connected to loadballancer and use improved methods related to vCenters but these where initial installs so no upgrade.

Anyone has an idea about this scenario upgrade?

Thank you

I had a similar situation, and while I found a few ways to use enhanced bound mode with incorporated the PSC, it is not technically supported by VMware.

However, I have deployed two new external to the PSC (two sites) and two VCSA w/o the embedded PSC.  I joined all in the same domain.

Once it was in place, I improved my previous VCSA, who had the PSC on-board, to 6.0 U1 and used the new option repoint via CMSSO-UTIL to point of the VCSA existing on the same domain than the one I just created with two new external to the PSC.  I was then able to migrate everything to the two new vCenters.

Looks like more work that it is, and the result is a nice clean environment, no down time to VM and two external to the PSC which reproduce and two VCSA who linked enhnaced active mode.

If you go down this road and you have problems, let me know, I can try to help.
