Use the following procedure to upgrade your PlateSpin Forge product from version 11.0 to version 11.1:
Prepare for the software upgrade by performing the tasks in Section 1.1, Before You Upgrade PlateSpin Forge.
On the PlateSpin Forge Management VM, run PlateSpin.ForgeSetup-11.1.0.xxxx.exe as the Administrator user, then follow the on-screen instructions.
Ensure that you select the Save data option when prompted during the server installation.
HINT:If all the jobs are in the paused state, the validation may launch the Running Jobs Detected dialog. This is due to some jobs being aborted and not correctly detecting that condition. You need to pause all running replications and wait for all operations to complete, or abort the running operations. Then, in the dialog, select Yes - Proceed with installation, then click Next.
Verify that the PlateSpin Forge software was upgraded to version 11.1:
Log in to the PlateSpin Forge Web Interface.
If you cannot log in, the upgrade failed or the server is down. Power up the Forge Management VM, and try again to log in. If you cannot log in, jump to Step 4.
Click About to view the version number. On the About page, the Software Version should be 11.1.0.xxxx, where xxxx represents the build number.
If the version number is still 11.0.0.xxxx, it could be a browser cache issue. Clear the browser cache, close and restart the browser, then try again. If the version is still old, the upgrade failed. Jump to Step 4.
Verify that the protected workloads were re-imported successfully after the upgrade. In the PlateSpin Forge Web Interface, click Workloads, then visually confirm that the expected workloads are present.
If the protected workloads are not present, part or all of the upgrade process failed.
If the software upgrade failed according to the tests in Step 3, return to your backup snapshot of the Forge Management VM, then try the upgrade again.
After a successful software upgrade, continue withSection 1.3, Post-Upgrade Tasks.
