Applies to:
- HYPER Appliances running SynetoOS 4.x ONLY
- VMware ESXi 7.0U3 and above
This guide describes how to upgrade your Syneto VMware ESXi to version ESXi-8.0U2
- Check your VMware license before upgrade and proceed only if it's compliant with version 8.0
- Power-off all VMs including Syneto OS and Syneto File Recovery
- Save you configuration in a file before to upgrade the system by following this tutorial.
Note:
- Reverting to a previous build does not revert the tools-light vib version installed on the ESXI host
- Rolling from ESXi 8.0 to 7.0 is acceptable, as there are no partition changes between the two versions.
The upgrade requires the host to be rebooted.
