SSH to server to upgrade - I used the below commands to upgrade from 6.5 to 6.7. You certainly wont break your existing install by attempting the upgrade. If at any point you hit an incompatibility issue, the installer will tell youĪnd will stop, leaving you on whatever version you were installing from. My advice would be to upgrade to 5.5, which I suspect will run without a hitch. Similarly, I have a HP box that will only go to 5.5, again due to incompatible processors. Matrix up to ESXI 6.5, and no matter what I did, upgrade to 6.7 failed due to incompatible processors. I have a similarly ancient PowerEdge R610 in the garage (that I migrated to the rented server, due to mind-blowing electricity bills), that houses dual Xeon 5150's. Officially, ESXI support dried up at v5.0, but it's ancient but still supported E3 1220v2 meant the install of 6.7 went without an issue. Just this weekend I installed the Dell Customised EXI 6.7 ISO on a rented server. In short, it's not the model of server that will determine if it will run, but what's in the server. Best bet is to look at the CPU compatibility charts: Really depends on what CPU you are running.
