  • 1.  Add RAM to vApp - pre-requisite and post upgrade tasks

    Posted Jul 03, 2022 10:11 PM
    Hi,
    What are the pre-requisites and post upgrade tasks for adding RAM to vApp that runs on VMware?

    Is taking backup as described in this document sufficient?
    https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/symantec-security-software/identity-security/identity-suite/14-3/virtual-appliance/upgrading-virtual-appliance.html#concept.dita_cfde5fd84c4c35feaa04a3936ccb8acee41dc8e6_UpgradePrerequisites

    Are there any post upgrade tasks after adding RAM?

    Regards,
    Ain

    Hello Ain,

    It is of course required to take a backup of a vApp before an upgrade.
    However, simply adding RAM to a VMware machine does not affect any data and can be done without taking a data backup.

    Hi Dmytry,
    Thanks for responding.
    Can I also confirm that there is no post upgrade task for this activity?

    Thanks again.

    Confirmed, it's nothing to be done after RAM size is increased (or decreased).
    However remember that there are some tasks to run after you add disk space, it's different from adding RAM.
