I've got a vCSA 6 Beta 2 appliance that I'm trying to upgrade to vCSA 6 GA... But the https://vcsa:5480/ web site doesn't look to be working. I can access it via the web client or SSH just fine. I just can't get to the magic 5480 port. Did something change in Beta 2, or is some service offline?
edit: Nevermind. It looks like, as of vSphere 6, you need to upgrade the vCSA by mounting the ISO and opening the HTML file inside.
edit2: Nevermind my nevermind. It looks like you can't upgrade a vCSA. You can only install a new one. Clicking on the Upgrade button takes you to the same wizard as a new install. If you enter the name of the vCSA you want to upgrade, it won't progress any further because "Virtual Machine name already exists". Well no shit it exists - I'm trying to upgrade it!
edit3: Okay, if I try to give it a new name, it refuses to work because you can only upgrade from 5.1U3 or 5.5... NOT from 6.0 Beta 2. At this point, I give up. The installer isn't going to work for me. Time to take the vmware-vcsa file, rename it to an .OVA, and deploy it as a new VM.
