# Step 2. Upgrade Additional Veeam VMware Collectors

For each Collector in your environment that is installed on a VM that does not run the Management Server role, perform the following steps:

1. Log in to the machine where the Collector component is installed using an account with the local Administrator rights.
2. Mount the installation image. The setup will open the splash screen with Veeam Management Pack installation options.
3. On the splash screen, click **Upgrade**.
4. Follow the instructions provided in the [Collector-Only Installation](collector_only_installation.md) section.

::: note

During upgrade, do not move monitoring jobs between Collectors of different versions, as this can cause unstable behavior.

:::


You can also run Collector installation MSI manually, and provide the additional Veeam Virtualization Extensions server name and port parameters as follows:

```
msiexec /i VeeamCollector64.msi VIC_EM_SERVER=”ves_name” VIC_EM_SERVER_PORT=”ves_port”
```

After you upgrade Collectors, the VMware topology will be discovered only in 24 hours. However, you can speed up the discovery process if you run the **Rebuild Topology** task in the web UI. For details on how to run this task, see the [Operations Guide](operations_guide.md).
