Dell PowerVault MD3820f - Manual (Page 9)

Upgrading From A Previous Version
If you are upgrading from a previous version of the MD vCenter Plug-in but plan to use the same host
server as the application server, run the latest installer on the current application server. The installation
wizard will prompt for an administrator password before unregistering and upgrading your MD vCenter
Plug-in version.
Application Server Requirements
The Windows-based application server configured with vCenter Client should be installed on a separate
server installation than the one running vCenter Server. While it is possible to install the application server
and vCenter Server on the same host, it is not recommended.
