Dart 5.5 to Dart 5.6 upgrade and its effect on Celerra Replicator

Will the Dart 5.5 to 5.6 upgrade automatically upgrade my Celerra Replicator from V1 to V2?

Are there any operational issues I need to worry about?

Do I need to manually issue a fs_replicate suspend beforehand and a restart after the upgrade has completed?


Has anyone been through the V1 to V2 replicator upgrade? How did it go?

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

    Upgrading Replicator V1 to V2 is a manual step. It will not be done automatically during the 5.6 upgrade.

    You do not need to stop or suspend the replications before the upgrade to 5.6.
    After the 5.6 upgrade the replications (V1) will still be running.

    The upgrade of Repl. V1 to V2 is still a process which needs an approved RPQ. The procedure will be provided with this approval.
    It is an process which will upgrade all replications one after the other. Depending on the change rate of your filesystems and the available repl. bandwidth it will take some time.
