Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) verification
Backup and pre-upgrade best practices
Creating or selecting ESXi 8.0 image
Running compatibility and compliance checks
Entering Maintenance Mode safely
Performing ESXi 6.7 / 7.0 to 8.0 upgrade step by step
Monitoring upgrade progress
Post-upgrade validation and health checks
We will also discuss:
✔ Cluster upgrade strategy
✔ Zero-downtime upgrade using DRS and vMotion
✔ Driver and firmware compatibility
✔ Common upgrade failures and troubleshooting
✔ Exam-relevant lifecycle management topics for VCP-DCV 2023
