Abstract:
The disclosure provides for systems and methods for performing upgrades in virtual environments. Some implementations are directed to using an upgrade service to provide pre-upgrade component detection and validation on host(s). A software package may be submitted to an existing software upgrade procedure of a host. The software package may include an upgrade executable that, when launched, provides a new software service, including initializing one or more new public-facing APIs to provide pre-upgrade host component detection and validation. Some implementations are directed to coordinating the upgrade of a first host using an upgrade service launched on another networked machine or second host. While running an upgrade service, the first host may make a request to the second host to coordinate the upgrade of components of the first host while the first host or a VM of the first host running the upgrade service is shut down.

Claim (Index 37):
The system of  claim 34 , wherein the second virtual controller initiates a second upgrade process for the second host after the upgrade process for the first host is completed, the another upgrade process including:\n the second virtual controller requesting that the first upgrade orchestrator continue the second upgrade process while the second virtual controller is powered off, the first upgrade orchestrator coordinating the second upgrade process while the second virtual controller is powered off by adjusting or upgrading at least one of the second hypervisor, the second virtual controller, a BIOS of the second host, or a firmware of the second host, and the second virtual controller validating, after powering back on, that the second upgrade process coordinated by the first upgrade orchestrator completed successfully.
