Hi jdiaz

Yes, there are generally recommended best practices to follow when updating a NIMBLE HCI solution that includes vCenter and ESXi hosts. Here are some general guidelines to consider:

1. Check the NIMBLE Storage Compatibility Matrix (SCM) for vSphere, which lists the versions of vSphere that are compatible with the specific version of NIMBLE OS you are running. This can help you ensure that the version of vCenter you plan to update to is compatible with your current version of NIMBLE OS. You can find the compatibility matrix on the HPE NIMBLE Storage Support website.

2. Check the VMware Compatibility Guide to determine the supported versions of vSphere for your current version of ESXi. This can help ensure that the version of vCenter you plan to update to is compatible with your current version of ESXi.

3. Plan and schedule a maintenance window for the update. This will allow you to perform the update without impacting your production environment.

4. Start by upgrading vCenter, following the recommended upgrade steps provided by VMware. Be sure to take a snapshot or backup of the vCenter server before you begin the upgrade process.

5. After the vCenter upgrade is complete, upgrade the ESXi hosts, following the recommended upgrade steps provided by VMware. Be sure to take a snapshot or backup of each ESXi host before you begin the upgrade process.

6. After the ESXi hosts have been upgraded, check that they are properly registered with vCenter and that all the virtual machines are running correctly.

7. Verify that your NIMBLE storage is properly configured and visible in vCenter after the upgrade.

8. Test your applications to ensure they are functioning properly.

9. Finally, document the upgrade process and update any relevant documentation, such as change management procedures and system configuration documents.

It's important to note that this is just a general guideline, and you should always refer to the documentation provided by your vendor and VMware for specific instructions and best practices for updating your NIMBLE HCI solution.
