Upgrading Veritas Volume Replicator

If a previous version of Veritas Volume Replicator (VVR) is configured, the product

installer upgrades VVR automatically when you upgrade the Storage Foundation

products.

See “Upgrading VVR without disrupting replication” on page 239.

Upgrading VVR without disrupting replication

This section describes the upgrade procedure from an earlier version of VVR to

the current version of VVR when replication is in progress, assuming that you do

not need to upgrade all the hosts in the RDS simultaneously.

You may also need to set up replication between versions.

See “Planning an upgrade from the previous VVR version” on page 197.

When both the Primary and the Secondary have the previous version of VVR

installed, the upgrade can be performed either on the Primary or on the Secondary.

We recommend that the Secondary hosts be upgraded before the Primary host in

the RDS. This section includes separate sets of steps, for the Primary upgrade and

for the Secondary upgrade.
