VMware products might be affected during VirtualCenter upgrade

Details

If left running, some VMware products might experience data inconsistency during a VirtualCenter upgrade. This can potentially lead to corrupted databases or inability to effectively manage your VMware environment.

Solution

It is also advisable to stop/pause any tasks utilizing VirtualCenter at the time of the upgrade, such as Physical to Virtual conversions using VMware Converter.
