    Abstract: An example method of deploying a logical network platform in a virtualized computing system, the virtualized computing system including a host cluster and a virtualization management server connected to a physical network, the host cluster having hosts and a virtualization layer executing on hardware platforms of the hosts is described. The method includes receiving, at the virtualization management server, a declarative specification describing a proposed state of the logical network platform; deploying, by the virtualization management server, a network manager of the logical network platform in response to the proposed state in the declarative specification; and deploying, by the virtualization management server in cooperation with the network manager, binaries to the hosts in the host cluster.

    Abstract: A system and method for upgrading a source management component of a computing environment uses a target management component that is deployed in a host computer of the computing environment. The source and target management components are set as a primary-secondary management pair for a high availability system such that the source management component is set as a primary protected component and the target management component is set as a secondary unprotected component. After services of the source management component are stopped and the target management component is powered on, the primary-secondary management pair is modified to switch the source management component to the secondary unprotected component and the target management component to the primary protected component. Services of the target management component are then started to take over responsibilities of the source management component.
