Hello,
Our backup-software (TSM for VE) checks if VMWare Guest Tools are "current", before performing application backup.
This means that when we upgrade a host to new version, the application backup of all VMs on the host will fail, until tools are upgraded.
However, the check will go through if the guest tools version is newer than the host version.
So....
Is it possible to orchestrate Guest Tools update to a newer version than the tools on the host?
(Besides using a single updated host as "jump host" for the updates and migrating the VMs to this host one by one).
Best regards
Martin
