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 may temporarily cause 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.
