Upgrading to 11d

[FWA]

I have recently purchased a HP 1/8 Ultrium3 autochanger and find that while the Ultrium2 version is supported in BE 9.1 this one is not and I have to upgrade the software!

Do I also have to upgrade my remote, exchange and SQL agents to version 11, and shell out lots more money too!!

Hello FWA

Yes unfortunatly you need to upgrade everything, the reason is pretty simple to explain. When your Backup Exec for Windows Server (BEWS) version was released there was no existence of the HP autolader on the market, this one you got is not only a brand new but also a new generation tape autoloader, that requires support from both Hardware manufacturer and Software Application.

First of all you need to upgrade the main BEWS console and rigth after that you migth need to upgrade all of the options (clients), that's what best practices indicates.

You will need a v11d version of every serial you have (RAWS/SQL/Exchange/Oracle/Notes/RALUS etc)

Then just install on top of the v10 code and everything should be migrated forward  (jobs, schedules, selection lists etc)
