I have a vCSA 5.0 as source.
Will the import work as well or do I have to do it in some more steps?

And I'd like the data disk to be thin provisioned - do I have to use the iso image to upgrade?

This should work with vCSA 5.0 as well - maybe try running the above procedure to do 5.0 -> 5.1 then again for 5.1 -> 5.5.

I have found the best way to upgrade is with the OVA image, but if you wish you can provision it with an ISO and build a custom VM with a thin disk if you wish.

The actual limits for the vCA is based on if you are using the embedded vPostgress database or not. The numbers are as follow:

Embedded vPostgress: 100 hosts and 3000 VMs
External Oracle DB: 1,000 hosts and 10,000 VMs.

You can check my post at: http://www.virtualizationte... for more info on these numbers :)

I did my VMWare ICM 5.5 course last month, the trainers perspective (as well as ours) was that yeah Postreges is only "supported" to handle that many but in reality, it is used in production environments far larger.
