Upgrading Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V by using the installation wizard

You can upgrade to Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V Version 8.1.7 by using the installation wizard.

Important: Before you upgrade to Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V V8.1.7, do not uninstall the previous version. If you upgrade Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V by first uninstalling the previous version and then installing the new version, the upgrade is treated as a new installation. As a result, when you initially start the Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V Management Console after the installation, the configuration wizard will be opened automatically and you will have to go through the configuration again.
To upgrade to Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V V8.1.7, follow the instructions in Installing Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V components, but with the following restrictions:
  • In the installation wizard, do not change the folder that is displayed in the Change Current Destination Folder field. The upgrade must be completed in the existing destination folder.
  • You must select the same installation type that was used to install the previous version of Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V. For example, if you selected Typical Installation to install the previous version, you must also select Typical Installation during the upgrade.
