Verify that you made a backup of the SRM database before you upgraded SRM from a previous release
to this release.
Procedure
1 Use the Windows Control Panel options to uninstall SRM at the protected and recovery sites.
If you connected the SRM Server instances at the protected and recovery sites, you must uninstall SRM
at both sites. If you uninstall SRM from one side of a site pairing but not the other, the database on the
remaining site becomes inconsistent.
2 Use the Windows Control Panel options to uninstall the SRM plug-in from any vSphere Client instances
on which you installed it.
3 Restore the SRM database from the backup that you made when you upgraded SRM from the previous
release.
You must restore the database on both sites so they are synchronized. For instructions about how to
restore a database from a backup, see the documentation from your database vendor.
4 Install the previous release of SRM Server on the protected and recovery sites.
5 Install the previous release of the SRM client plug-in on any vSphere Client instances that you use to
connect to SRM.
6 Reestablish the connection between the SRM Server instances on the protected and recovery sites.
If you restored a backup of the SRM database from the previous version, any configurations or protection
plans that you created before you upgraded SRM are retained.
