Depending on your current vRealize Automation environment, you can upgrade to the latest version by performing an in-place upgrade or a side-by-side upgrade.
You can only perform an in-place upgrade for these paths.
- vRealize Automation 6.2.5 to 7.5
- vRealize Automation 7.1.x to 7.5
- vRealize Automation 7.2.x to 7.5
- vRealize Automation 7.3.x to 7.5
- vRealize Automation 7.4.x to 7.5
A side-by-side upgrade migrates the data in your current vRealize Automation environment to a target environment deployed with the latest version of vRealize Automation. You can perform a side-by-side upgrade for these paths.
- vRealize Automation 6.2.0 through 6.2.5 to 7.5
- vRealize Automation 7.0 and 7.0.1 to 7.5
- vRealize Automation 7.1.x, 7.2.x, and 7.3.x, 7.4.x to 7.5
Migration does not change your current environment. If your current environment is integrated with vCloud Director, vCloud Air, or has physical endpoints, you must use migration to upgrade. Migration removes all unsupported endpoints and everything associated with them in the target environment.
