Getting ready
Before you get started with the upgrade, make sure that your existing installation has the necessary updates by following the upgrade path:
- As a minimum requirement, upgrade your existing DPM 2012 R2 to DPM 2012 R2 Update Rollup 10. At the time of writing this book, Update Rollup 14 is also available for DPM 2012 R2. You can download UR 10 from the following link: http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=4043315.
- Upgrade DPM 2012 R2 with Update Rollup 10 or Update Rollup 14 to the latest DPM version.
- Update the DPM agents on the protected servers.
- Upgrade Windows Server 2012 R2 to Windows Server 2016 or Windows Server 2019.
Please note that it is possible to upgrade DPM 2016 or later from DPM 2012 R2, which is running on Windows Server 2012 R2. However, if you want to use the latest features that come with DPM 2016 or later, such as MBS, Microsoft recommends installing DPM 2016 or later on a new installation of Windows Server 2016 or Windows Server 2019. Please check the Installing DPM recipe in this chapter for more information.
