Learn how VMware Skyline Advisor and Skyline Health Diagnostics work together to provide proactive intelligence and self-service log analysis.

Use Skyline Advisor to avoid issues before they occur across VCF, vSphere, vSAN, NSX, vROps & Horizon. Skyline Findings are based on top KBs, VMSAs/CVEs and design best practices.

Use Skyline Health Diagnostics to root cause vSphere & vSAN logs when an issue occurs. Skyline Health Diagnostic Findings are based on top KBs and VMSA/CVEs. You can use the Skyline Health Diagnostics tool in online or offline mode.

If you require additional help from technical support, please use Skyline Advisor to initiate a Log Assist to reduce time to upload logs. TSEs can also initiate logs to reduce effort.

Purpose

This article only encompasses environments running vSphere and/or vCloud Suite 6.7 and VMware products compatible with vSphere 6.7.

In an environment with vSphere 6.7 and its compatible VMware products, perform the update sequence described in the Supported Update Sequence table.

Note: This article refers only to the latest versions of VMware products that are supported by vSphere 6.7 and its update sequence. For more information, see Upgrade path and Interoperability of VMware Products (70785).

Important:

When upgrading your vCenter Server and with Horizon View is part of your environment, refer to the VMware Interoperability Matrices for the most up-to-date compatibility. Also, see:

Migration Recommendations and Restrictions for Horizon VDI Desktops (57368).

Migrating from vCenter Windows Server to vCenter Service Appliance with VMware Horizon 7.x and 6.x (51154).

Moving View-managed desktops between VMware vCenter Servers is not supported (1018045).

Note: If you need to update multiple products in your environment, start with updating the product with the lowest sequence number. After you update the product, update the product with the next sequence number. If a product is not present in your environment, update the subsequent product. If you need to update two products with the same sequence number, the order of update does not matter.

Sample VMware product upgrade scenarios

Example 1

If you have SRM solution installed in your environment leveraging vSphere Replication to replicate data to servers at the recovery site, please reference:
