Login into VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
Go to Lifecycle Operations and Settings
Click on System Upgrade
Select "Check Online" and then click on "Check for Upgrade"
It would return stating the new VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle 8.18.0 is available
Ensure a snapshot is taken before triggering an upgrade
Click on "Upgrade" to begin the upgrade workflow
Pre-checks are fine and now the upgrade starts
Remember the logs you can monitor
Pre-Upgrade & Upgrade Phase
/var/log/vmware/capengine/cap-non-lvm-update/worflow.log
/var/log/vmware/capenginecap-non-lvm-updateinstaller-<<timestamp>>.log
Post Update Phase
/var/log/bootstrap/postupdate.log
/data/script.log
/var/log/vrlcm/vmware_vrlcm.log
Services would restart which means it's in postupgrade phase
Upgrade is now complete
Happy Upgrades
