The hypervisor upgrades can be done through LCM. Please browse your prism element and find “LCM”. When you perform “inventory” for the LCM, you will see the available components for upgrade and the LCM should fetch compatible versions of these components if you are connected to the internet.
In case of Hyper-V hypervisors, you will need to verify Hyper-V compatibility with AOS and and upload it to the LCM utility. The LCM will then perform rolling upgrade of the hypervisors. One great thing about LCM is that there will be no downtime for the user VMs. Please open a support case if you need Nutanix support to run you through this process.
