Procedure
1 Download the NSX upgrade bundle to a location to which vShield Manager can browse. The name of
the upgrade bundle file is something like VMware-vShield-Manager-upgrade-bundle-to-NSX-
buildNumber.tar.gz.
2 From the vShield Manager 5.5 inventory panel, click Settings & Reports.
3 Click the Updates tab and then click Upload Upgrade Bundle .
4 Click Browse, select the VMware-vShield-Manager-upgrade-bundle-to-NSX-6.0-buildNumber.tar.gz file,
and click Open.
5 Click Upload File.
Uploading the file takes a few minutes.
6 Click Install to begin the upgrade process.
7 Click Confirm Install. The upgrade process reboots vShield Manager, so you might lose connectivity to
the vShield Manager user interface. None of the other vShield components are rebooted.
8 After the reboot, log in to the NSX Manager virtual appliance by opening a Web browser window and
typing the same IP address as that of the vShield Manager. For example, https://11.111.11.11.
The Summary tab displays the version of NSX Manager that you just installed.
Close any existing browser sessions accessing the vSphere Web Client. Wait for a few minutes and clear
the browser cache before logging back in to the vSphere Web Client.
If SSH was enabled on vShield Manager 5.5, you must enable it on NSX Manager after the upgrade. Log
in to the NSX Manager virtual appliance and click View Summary. In System-level components, click
Start for SSH service.
9 Shut down the NSX Manager virtual machine and increase the memory to 12 GB and vCPU to 4.
All grouping objects from vShield Manager 5.5 are carried over to NSX. Objects that were created at
datacenter, port group, Edge, or virtual wire level are now visible and available at the global scope. This is
for backward compatibility of grouping object (Applications, ApplicationGroup, IPSet, MacSet ,
SecurityGroup) APIs. New grouping objects created in NSX 6.0.x are created at the global scope and cannot
be nested within grouping objects carried over from 5.5.
All users and associated roles are carried over to NSX as well. For information on viewing roles in the
vSphere Web Client, see User Management in NSX Administration Guide.
