[FabrizioDV]

Hello All,

i have a 2 node Simplivity 4.2.0 with esxi 7.0 U3Q and VCSA 7.0 U3R

i wanto to upgrade tu Simplivity 5.1.0U1 with Esxi 8.0 U2C and VCSA 8.0 U2D

From HPE Simplivity Upgrade Planner the second step is to upgrade the VCSA

when upgrading VCSA from 7.0.3 to 8.0 U2D the VCSA 8.0 U2D the program perform a
redeploy of the VCSA VM

After that is necessary to reinstall the Simplivity plugin ?
This is the only extra step necessary for Simplivity environment ?

Thank you all in advance

@FabrizioDV Most likely yes, you will need to reinstall it if VCSA is redeployed. You can check if it was removed in the Administration console, under "Client Plugins". For the upgrade, you also need to update the arbiter to the latest version.

i proceeded in the upgrade of the VCSA

the plugin was not removed, but was in a disabled state

i removed the 4.2.0 plugin and proceeded to install latest 5.1.0U1 plugin flawless

then the rest of the upgrade all flawless via Update Manager
