VMware GSX Server Administration Guide

Upgrading on a Linux Host

To upgrade from version 1 or 2 to version 3, you must have the full VMware GSX Server

3 product.

Upgrading Using the tar Installer

If you used the tar installer to install your current version of GSX Server, and you plan

to use the tar installer for the new version, the only special step you need to take is to

make sure the directory to which you plan to untar the tar archive does not contain

any files from a previous GSX Server tar installation. You do not need to uninstall the

older version. Just follow the installation instructions under Installing VMware GSX

Server on a Linux Host on page 55.

Upgrading Using the RPM Installer

If you used the RPM installer to install your current version of GSX Server, you need to

uninstall the software before you upgrade to the new version. See Uninstalling GSX

Server on a Linux Host on page 85.
