Upgrading the Current Installation
The existing Virtual Replication Appliances and protected virtual machines, together with all other information, such as checkpoints, journals, sites, and pairing details, are retained and are available in the upgraded installation.
The upgrade is performed without disrupting the protection, but no new checkpoints are written to the journal during the actual upgrade.
This temporarily causes alerts to be issued, even if only a single site was affected, stating that the journal history and RPO do not meet their specified target settings.
To upgrade the version:
1. Run the Zerto Virtual Replication installation executable for your environment.
The Zerto Replication Installation Wizard is displayed.
2. Select Upgrade and click Next.
The upgrade proceeds automatically.
3. Proceed to completion.
Note: If the vSphere Client console was open during the upgrade, close it and reopen it.
VRAs from the
existing installation are
not automatically upgraded when upgrading Zerto Virtual Replication. To upgrade existing VRAs see
Upgrading VRAs.
