VMware has officially declared, Aria Operations for Networks (formerly vRealize Network Insight, vRNI) 6.1.0 End of General Support starting from October 13th 2022
Resolution
To maintain the full level of Support, VMware recommends upgrading to supported Aria Operations for Networks versions.
Current upgrading optimized path to the latest version (since Aria Operations for Networks supports upgrading to N+2) :
5.3 > 6.1 > 6.3 > 6.5.1 > 6.7 > 6.9 > 6.11 > 6.13
Given even with the N+2 upgrade path model is very time-consuming as they are multiple-step processes, VMware highly recommends deploying new setup from the latest version directly if the number of upgrades needed to reach the last release available is high
If you would like assistance in moving to a newer version of Aria Operations for Networks, the VMware Professional Services Service is available. For more information on options including Extended Support, visit VMware Consulting and VMware Extended Support
