Upgrading VCS
This section describes the tasks to be performed to upgrade VCS.
Supported upgrade path: VCS to InfoScale Availability
The upgrade tasks depend on whether or not replication is configured in your environment.
The following figure lists the tasks to be performed to upgrade VCS, where replication is not configured.
Note:
If you have installed InfoScale Storage on a machine where InfoScale Availability co-exists, then before you begin to upgrade the product, you must run the BackupRestoreUtil.exe using Backup_HA.xml as an input parameter and then uninstall InfoScale Availability.
After the product upgrade is complete, you must install InfoScale Availability and then run the BackupRestoreUtil.exe using Restore_HA.xml as an input parameter.
To run the BackupRestoreUtil.exe, using the command prompt navigate to the installation media for InfoScale and point to the following location:
Installer>BackupRestoreUtil.exe
