Last Updated : Nov 14, 2022 |

About this task

Use the procedure to upgrade Appliance Virtualization Platform or VMware based WebLM Release 7.x or 8.x to Release 10.1.2 on Avaya Solutions Platform 130 or on VMware.

Note:

For upgrading WebLM from Release 6.x to Release 10.1.2, first upgrade WebLM Release 6.x to 8.1.x, and then upgrade to WebLM Release 10.1.2. You cannot directly upgrade the Release 6.x system to Release 10.1.2 and later. If you upgrade the application directly from Release 6.3.x to Release 10.1.2, the upgrade fails.

Before you begin

Install Solution Deployment Manager client.

For information, see Installing the Solution Deployment Manager client on your computer.
Ensure that System Manager is running on Release 10.2.x.
Add a location.

Add the required host.

For information about adding the Appliance Virtualization Platform or ESXi host, see Adding an Appliance Virtualization Platform, ESXi, or Avaya Solutions Platform 130 host.

For information about adding vCenter, see Adding a vCenter to Solution Deployment Manager.
Important:
- If the application is running on the ESXi version that is not supported with Release 10.2, then first upgrade the ESXi to a supported ESXi version.
  
  For information about the supported ESXi version, see Supported ESXi version.
  
  For information about upgrading ESXi, see the VMware product documentation.
- If ESXi is managed by vCenter, ensure that the vCenter version is same or higher than the ESXi version.
- If the application is running on the server that is not supported with Release 10.2.x, then deploy Avaya Solutions Platform 130.
  
  For information about supported servers, see Supported servers for Avaya Aura applications.
