Note
You do not need to stop SQL Server instances before or during the SnapManager software upgrade process.
Before you upgrade from SnapManager 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 to SnapManager 2.1for Microsoft SQL Server, be sure that your Windows host systems and the storage system are running the supported software versions as described in Chapter 2, Preparing to Install or Upgrade SnapManager.
The following paragraphs summarize these software upgrade considerations.
Be sure that the appropriate Service Pack is installed for the Microsoft SQL Server that you are running. This is described in Verifying Windows host system requirements.
SnapManager 2.1 for Microsoft SQL Server is supported by SnapDrive 4.1, x64 and x86 versions. SnapManager 2.0 for Microsoft SQL Server is supported by SnapDrive 4.0, 3.2 and SnapDrive 3.1.1R1, whereas SnapManager 1.5 is supported by these versions of SnapDrive as well as older versions, and SnapManager 1.0 is supported by SnapDrive 2.0.1. If SnapDrive 3.2 or 3.1.1R1 is not already installed on your SQL Server computer, you will need to upgrade to one of those versions. For more details, see Verifying Windows host system requirements.
If you need to upgrade SnapDrive on your Windows host systems, be sure that your storage system is running a compatible version of Data ONTAP, as described in Verifying storage system requirements.
