Stage 2: Platform Services Controller
This is going to do the upgrade and migration of the Platform Services Controller
Click Next
Fill in all information of the source Platform Services Controller. Click Next.
As mentioned earlier, set DRS to manual and deploy to a host directly. This I found gave me the least issues. This warning is completely safe to ignore. Click Close.
I’ve unchecked joining the CEIP. Our firewall blocks the traffic so no need for the excessive traffic. Click Next.
Review the options, place a check in the check box. The backup was done at time of snapshot. Click Finish to complete the migration.
Accept the warning. Click OK
Time for another coffee. Again, will be about 10-20 minutes for this process to complete.
I am not able to upgrade our entire environment at this time, but by the looks of things, the process will be exactly the same as before. So, do NOT upgrade ANY vCenters until ALL your PSCs have been upgraded.
Take note of the TLS message. Click Close to continue.
The deployment is now complete.
Once all Platform Services Controllers have been upgraded, I proceeded to do the vCenter servers, in the same order.
