This is a tool to generate an optimal upgrade plan for your HPE SimpliVity environment. Please select the appropriate inputs to continue.
HPE SimpliVity Desired Version
# of Clusters
- Select only the # of clusters to run this planner with. - The "All Clusters" option assumes the current and desired versions of all dependencies (vCenter, ESXi, HPE Host Firmware (iLO), Arbiter, and vCenter Plugin) are the same for all the clusters in the federation.
Single Cluster Upgrade Plan (Single) or Federation-Wide Upgrade Plan (Fed)?
ON / Single: A single cluster upgrade plan for each cluster. NOTE: This planner doesn't guarantee federation interoperability for the single cluster upgrade plan option, please verify manually.
OFF / Fed: An overall federation-wide upgrade plan for all clusters in the federation NOTE: assuming all clusters are in the same vCenter or linked vCenters.

Q: What SimpliVity environments are supported?
A: HPE SimpliVity VMware environments only.
Q: What platforms are supported?
A: HPE SimpliVity Gen10 and newer hardware only.
Q: What are the legends used in the Planner?
A: The Upgrade Planner is based on the HPE SimpliVity Interoperability Guide. Legends are kept as a reference to the Guide.
Q: What is the lowest version supported?
A: The lowest HPE SimpliVity version supported is v. 3.7.10 (September 2019).
Q: Why are vCenter upgrade steps not detailed in the Planner?
A: Upgrade Planner follows the Interoperability Guide. vCenter upgrades are outside of the scope of SVT Upgrade Manager.
Q: Why do I not see certain versions of vSphere on the list?
A: vSphere compatibility is limited to the versions supported by SimpliVity.
Q: How do I generate upgrade paths for different platforms?
A: There are no specific upgrade paths for different platforms - normal rules of same config in a cluster apply.
