Upgrade vShield App to NSX Firewall
Unfortunately I am having issues in my lab, so I was unable to perform the upgrade of the virtual wires to logical switches, which is a prerequisite to upgrade the Firewall. I was getting the following error, and I am currently investigating to see what might be causing it. If anyone has any feedback or resolves this issue please let me know. Luckily, the steps to upgrade the NSX firewall are fairly simple, so I will go through the steps at the bottom.

Log into the vSphere Client and Navigate to Networking & Security -> Installation -> Host Preparation and ujnder the Firewall tab you should see a button surrounded in green with the word Upgrade

Hi Sean,
Were you able to resolve this issue? Running into the same thing going from 6.1.2 to 6.1.4. It’s a lab, of course.
Thanks,
Matt
Solved it…I had neglected to upgrade the controllers from the NSX Manager section of the Management page.
Hi Matt,
Good info, thanks for sharing!
