Current version of vRSLCM in my lab is of version 8.10 PSPACK 9.
-
Goal is to upgrade to version 8.12. As we all know from this version onwards vRSLCM will now be refferred as VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
-
I have mapped updaterepo iso on the vRSLCM appliance using datastore iso option
-
Login into vRSLCM and then click on check for upgrade

- Remember to take a snapshot without fail before attempting an upgrade

- Here you go there's my update

- There's a product pane which tells you to acknowledge that necessary prerequisites have taken place , accept to move forward

- There are 6 validations performed


- Upgrade started


- During this phase check
/var/log/vrlcm/vmware_vrlcm.log
/opt/vmware/var/log/vami/updatecli.log
/opt/vmware/bootstrap/postupdate.log
- After few minutes , here you go , the all nee VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle 8.12

- Here's the home page

- Environments pane

- Remember , I just upgraded by vRSLCM and once done , as expected all my existing products would start displaying the new names. Unless i upgrade the product, on the product end it would still show the old branding.

- That's the system settings

-
This concludes uprgade of vRSLCM to what now we call VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle 8.12
