The Upgrade VRAs dialog is displayed, listing the selected VRAs, and whether an upgrade is available.
20. Review the list for the VRAs that you want to upgrade. Deselect any VRAs that you decide not to upgrade.
21. Click Upgrade Selected VRAs.
22. The upgrade progress is displayed in the VRAs tab.
■ For version upgrades, for VRAs at the protected site and recovery sites, a delta sync is performed following the upgrade.
■ For updates within a version:
■ For VRAs at the protected site, a bitmap sync is performed following the upgrade.
Note: The time needed to upgrade a VRA is short so the bitmap sync should be quick.
■ For VRAs at the recovery site, a delta sync is performed following the upgrade.
Note: The VRA name does not change, even if the naming convention in the latest version is different.
