Vcenter Lcm Deployment Migration Upgrade APIs
The Vcenter Lcm Deployment MigrationUpgrade resource provides operations to configure and execute the migration upgrade of this vCenter Service appliance to a new version.
The vCenter upgrade should be run directly via the endpoints of the upgrade service - "/lcm/api" and "/lcm/rest". It is not recommended to use the "/api" endpoint exposed by the vCenter's vAPI endpoint service. The "/lcm/api" and "/lcm/rest" endpoints work correctly on any supported source version allowing monitoring and controlling the upgrade even during the upgrade's switchover. In contrast, the "/api" endpoint does not work during the upgrade's switchover and on some of the older supported source vCenter versions.
This resource was added in vSphere API 9.0.0.0.
