Upgrading a previous vReplicator installation

Due to the differences in application architecture, there is no upgrade path from vReplicator 3.x to vRanger 7.7.1. vRanger must be installed fresh — using the full installer — and replication jobs must be re-created.

The high-level process for migrating from vReplicator to vRanger 7.7.1 is as follows:

1

Request a new vRanger 7.x license.

A new license is required for vReplicator customers migrating to vRanger 7.7.1. Request one using the form at: https://support.quest.com/licensing-assistance.

NOTE: Current vReplicator 3.x customers who are also vRanger customers may want to request a combined license file that includes backup and replication licensing.

2

Download and install vRanger using the installer.

For the installation procedures, see Installing vRanger.

CAUTION: If you are re-creating your replication jobs, do not uninstall vReplicator 3.x. You may install and run vRanger on the same machine as vReplicator 3.x without issue.

3

Configure vRanger as appropriate.

For more information, see the topic that discusses using the Startup Wizard in the Quest vRanger User’s Guide.

4

Re-create replication jobs to match your vReplicator configuration.

vRanger replication jobs can re-use the existing target VMs created by the vReplicator jobs. This reuse eliminates the need to perform a full synchronization to start the new replication jobs. When configuring jobs, ensure that the host and datastore configuration matches the original job. vRanger recognizes the existing target VM and resume replication without sending the full VM.

CAUTION: Disable the vReplicator job before enabling its vRanger counterpart.

5

After validating that all replication jobs have been properly migrated and are working correctly, uninstall vReplicator.
