Issue/Introduction

In environments where NSX is deployed and managed as part of a Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) stack, the question may arise whether it is possible to upgrade NSX independently, without performing the upgrade through SDDC.

 

Environment

VMware NSX
VMware SDDC

Resolution

  • It is recommended to upgrade NSX from SDDC Manager while it's managed as part of a Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) stack.
  • It is possible to upgrade NSX independently if needed. 
  • For further assistance, you can open a support case with Broadcom by selecting VMware SDDC Manager as the product through the Broadcom Support Portal

Additional Information

If upgrading to NSX 9 in a VCF 9 environment, refer first to the information provided at the Upgrading NSX to 9.0 Techdoc page.
