Upgrade
Site Recovery Manager
 in a Shared Recovery Site Configuration

You can upgrade existing
Site Recovery Manager
 installations that use a shared recovery site.
  • Verify that you know the standard procedure for upgrading
    Site Recovery Manager
    . For information about a standard
    Site Recovery Manager
     upgrade, see Upgrading Site Recovery Manager.
  • Evaluate the importance of each protected site, and prioritize the upgrade of the sites accordingly.
When you upgrade a
Site Recovery Manager
 installation that uses a shared recovery site, apply the same recommendations for upgrading a standard one-to-one installation of
Site Recovery Manager
. See Upgrading Site Recovery Manager.
Upgrade all of the protected sites before you upgrade the shared recovery site. When you upgrade all of the protected sites before you upgrade the shared recovery site, you can run recoveries on the shared recovery site if failures occur on a protected site during the upgrade process. If you upgrade
vCenter Server
 on the shared recovery site before you upgrade all of the protected sites, you must complete all the upgrades to perform recovery.
Upgrade the protected sites in order of importance, upgrading the most important sites first and the least important sites last. For example, upgrade protected sites that run business-critical applications before you upgrade sites that are less vital to your operations.
  1. Upgrade
    vCenter Server
     on the most critical of the protected sites.
  2. If you use
    vSphere Replication
    , upgrade the
    vSphere Replication
     appliance that connects to the

     instance that you upgraded in 1.
  3. Upgrade the
    Site Recovery Manager Server
     instance that connects to the
    vCenter Server
     instance that you upgraded in 1.
  4. If you use array-based replication, upgrade the storage replication adapters (SRA) on the
    Site Recovery Manager Server
     host machine that you upgraded in 3.
  5. Repeat 1 to 4 for each of the protected sites that connect to the shared recovery site.
  6. Upgrade
    vCenter Server
     on the shared recovery site.

     instances on the shared recovery site.
