Situation:
- Planned to upgrade ESX 4.0 to ESXi 5.1 (with fresh install)
- In vCenter [ hkdatacenter (datacenter) >>> hkvmcluster (cluster) >>> hkvm1, hkvm2, hkvm3, hkvm4 (4 hosts) >>> VM clients ]
- hkvm1-4 are ESX 4.0 and hkvm1 has planed to upgrade ESXi 5.1
- same IP and hostname will be used
- all VM has been vmotion to other hosts
- hkvm1 has 2 datastores (hkvm1_local_data & hkvm1_local_OS)
Qustions:
- do I need to remove current hkvm1 then add back after fresh install ?? or just frsh install, vCenter will detect automatically ??
- if need to remove, what should I do before ??
- currently hkvm1 has 2 datastores, will fresh install remove all data even in hkvm1_local_data ??
Thanks
