| NSX Terraform Provider offers support for [upgrading NSX components](https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-NSX/4.1/upgrade/GUID-E04242D7-EF09-4601-8906-3FA77FBB06BD.html). | ||

||
| The provider support consists of several resources and data sources which can perform a complete upgrade cycle when applied correctly. | ||
| The NSX upgrade process upgrades the manager components of NSX, Edge appliances, and the NSX bits on the compute hosts. |

Another pedant suggestion, consider replacing with:
"The NSX Terraform provider support upgrades for NSX on ESX hosts, NSX Edge appliances, and NSX manager appliances"

Lets emphasize that upgrade configuration and state should be dedicated to upgrade only, and not shared with regular terraform config and state
Also do we want to recommend that state is cleared post successful upgrade?

Done - I added a note at the beginning of the doc, about state management for upgrade.

I wonder if we should add host data source for this..

You mean, within the example? As we do have a host data source (transport_node, and host_transport_node).
Or do you mean a list-providing DS, e.g. nsxt_host_transport_nodes?

No, I think single one is enough. If we can use the existing DS for the transport node here, I think its preferrable

| When preparation is complete, it is required to validate the readiness for upgrade using the | ||
| [nsxt_upgrade_prepare_ready](../data-sources/upgrade_prepare_ready.html.markdown) data source. | ||
| When NSX preparation results with failures or warnings, the data source will result will fail the upgrade. |

will result will fail => will fail
Add a document describing the upgrade process. Signed-off-by: Kobi Samoray <[email protected]>
Add a document describing the upgrade process.
Plus improve precheck failure and warning reporting, as it lacks documentation on NSX side.
