Upgrading vCenter Chargeback
Manager 5
You can upgrade an existing vCenter Chargeback Manager setup to the latest version of vCenter
Chargeback Manager.
If you are using vCenter Chargeback Manager 2.0 or later version, then you can directly upgrade your
existing setup to vCenter Chargeback Manager 2.5.1. However, if you have a vCenter Chargeback 1.5 or
later setup, then you must first upgrade to vCenter Chargeback Manager 2.0 before upgrading to vCenter
Chargeback Manager 2.5.1.

Pre-Upgrade Tasks for vCenter Chargeback Manager
The pre-upgrade tasks ensure that you have a backup of the database and the necessary configuration files.
Also, the completion of the pre-upgrade tasks ensures that vCenter Chargeback Manager can function
smoothly after the upgrade is completed.
Procedure
1 Check whether the data collector has synchronized all the vCenter Server hierarchies.
You can check the status and last run time for the data collector synchronization jobs from the Data
Collectors page on the Settings tab. If any of the synchronization jobs have failed or not run in the
recent past, then ensure that the synchronization jobs are successfully completed at least once before
you start the upgrade.
2 Stop all the vCenter Chargeback Manager related services.
3 Take a backup of the existing vCenter Chargeback Manager database.
If the upgrade fails due to any unforeseen reason and you are not able to use the existing setup either,
you can use the database backup to recover the data.
4 If the vCenter Chargeback Manager database supports partitioning, the installer provides an option to
partition the database. If you select this option, the installer runs scripts in the database to partition the
database, migrate the data, and create partition tables.
If you choose to partition the vCenter Chargeback Manager database and migrate the data, then you
must ensure the following conditions are satisfied:

Free space of at least 1.25 times the current data size is available in the database.
