The VMware VLM is delivered as a hardware version 10 virtual machine. You can upgrade to a higher virtual machine number as needed. Before upgrading, first take a backup of the virtual machine. If you do this, you can reverse the upgrade if needed.

For further details on upgrading a virtual machine, refer to the VMware documentation.

Note: If you have the VMware Tools package installed on LoadMaster, you must upgrade to the appropriate version of VMware Tools for the target hardware version before you upgrade the virtual hardware. Ensure that the version of VMware Tools is appropriate for the target hardware version.
