◎ After checking again,List three warnings:

the first item:My Essentials Plus is not authorized by DRS,So it can be ignored。
second section:reference kb52559 instruction of,Since I didn’t use the Content Library function,So you can just ignore the UID of this vdcs 1006 caveat。

◎ After completing the final confirmation,Check the "Backed up..." option below,You can start the second phase of the upgrade process。

 

◎ The second stage will take a long time,After the end, the vCSA upgrade action will be completed。
