Upgrade Lottery

<!--kg-card-begin: markdown--><p>Over the weekend I facilitated a customer upgrade that involved:</p>
<ul>
<li>In place upgrade of Windows Server 2008 to Windows Server 2008 R2 on a vCenter Server.</li>
<li>Direct upgrade from View Composer 2.6 to View Composer 5.3.</li>
<li>Direct upgrade from VMware View 4.6 to Horizon View 5.3 on two connection brokers.</li>
<li>Direct upgrade from vCenter 4.1 to vCenter 5.5.</li>
<li>Direct upgrade from ESXi 4.1 to ESXi 5.5 on multiple systems.</li>
</ul>
<p>All of these, on a Saturday, with no issues. No calls to VMware support. No reviewing error logs. Very little hand wringing. For the most part everything went according to plan.</p>
<p>I feel like I should buy a Powerball ticket this week, or maybe make a trip to the casino.</p>
