----------------------------------------
Summary: Document vSphere / ESXi patch installation procedure
Key: CLOUDSTACK-399
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-399
Project: CloudStack
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Doc
Affects Versions: 4.0.0
Reporter: Kirk Kosinski
Priority: Minor
Currently the installation guide has a section for patching/upgrading XenServer
hosts (Upgrading XenServer Versions). It would be good to have a documented
procedure for patching/upgrading vSphere as well. The following procedure has
been verified by QA.
1. Unmanage the cluster in CloudStack. This can be done from the CloudStack UI.
2. Do the following 3 steps for each of the ESXi hosts (2.a followed by 2.b,
and 2.c) in the cluster:
2.a. Move each of the ESXi hosts in the cluster to maintanance mode and ensure
all the VMs get migrated to other hosts in that cluster. If there is only 1
host in that cluster, shutdown all VMs and move the host into maintenance mode.
2.b. Apply the patch on the ESXi host. Reboot the host if required.
2.c. Move the host out of maintenance mode.
3. Manage the cluster in CloudStack. This can be done from the CloudStack UI.
4. Verify the host state is properly synchronized and updated in the Cloudstack
database (or via UI... state should be "Up").
