VCenter Upgrade

We are looking at upgrading our recovery hypervisor from VMWare 6.5.0.10000 Build 5973321 to probably Version 6.7.0.30000 or later.

Is there any precautions or steps we have to take in order to ensure we don’t break any components in Zerto or lose any data/checkpoints?

Hello,

Mike from Zerto here. The most important part of a vCenter upgrade from a Zerto perspective is preserving the vCenter database. Please see the following article for more information:

The other part to consider is if the vCenter/ESXi versions you are upgrading to are supported with the Zerto version you are currently running. Please see the Interoperability Matrix for supported vCenter/ESXi versions, starting on page 6:
