Welcome in the next from the Homelab upgrade series. Today as a part of the update we will cover upgrade of NSX 6.2.4 to NSX 6.3.1. VMware NSX 6.3.0 was the first release which supports vSphere 6.5. I already covered upgrade of ESXi 6.0 to 6.5 using different method along with vCenter Server upgrade.<!--more-->

# Prerequisites

First and most critical part of the upgrade is to check on VMware Product Interoperability Matrix <a href="https://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/sim/interop_matrix.php#upgrade&solution=93" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/sim/interop_matrix.php#upgrade&solution=93 </a>if the upgrade path is supported.

In my Homelab I am using NSX 6.2.4 Build 4292526 and upgrade to NSX 6.3.1 as a direct upgrade path is supported.

Second and perhaps most critical part of the upgrade is to perform the backup of NSX Manager. Once done let's start with NSX upgrade.

## Upgrade of NSX 6.2.4 to NSX 6.3.1

  1. Login to NSX Manager and click **Upgrade**.
