Upgrading Data Protection for VMware

You can upgrade Data Protection for VMware from a previous version of the software. Upgrading Data Protection for VMware also requires upgrading other components.

If you are installing Data Protection for VMware Version 7.1.3 on a system that contains IBM Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for VMware Version 3.x, you must also upgrade Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for VMware to Version 4.1.3. Data Protection for VMware Version 7.1.3 is not compatible with Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for VMware Version 3.x.

See the Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for VMware Installation and User's Guide when working with that product.

For compatibility with earlier versions, see the Compatibility Information: Data Protection for VMware Version 7.1 technote at http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21648031
