Best way to do in-place upgrade from 8.0.4 to 8.0.5?

Hi! We are running a three node VM Essentials cluster. What is the best way to do an in-place upgrade from 8.0.4 to 8.0.5, both the hosts and the VM Manager? Thanks!

The way to upgrade the manager is detailed in the official documentation in this link:

Getting Started — HPE VM Docs documentation

As a summary, you need to first get the upgrade .deb package, upload it to the manager VM (I usually just SCP it inside) and run the required commands:

- morpheus-ctl stop morpheus-ui (stop the manager service)

- apt install -f /path/to/deb/package (upgrade to newest version)

- morpheus-ctl reconfigure (finishes the upgrade)

The documentation points to an additional "supplemental" package that is needed when the manager doesn't have internet access to pull the updated dependencies. 

Afer your manager is in 8.0.5, you just need to go to your hosts in the manager an Update the agent in the hosts.

From the HPE Software Center, I was only able to download the initial installation ISO file for HPE VM Essentials.

Inside the initial installation ISO file, there are two files:

・hpe-vm_1.0.5-1_amd64.deb

・hpe-vme-8.0.5-1.qcow2.gz

Is it necessary to recreate the manager using the "hpe-vme-8.0.5-1.qcow2.gz" file?

I apologize if this is not the correct expression due to machine translation.

Hello

Upgrade package can be download from portal who have valid support contract.

For evaluation/trail license fresh installation is the only option.
