2012 SP1, and 2012 R2
Some organizations will have deployed System Center 2012, or System Center 2012 SP1, and
will wish to upgrade to System Center 2012 R2. This is more straightforward than migrating
from an earlier version as software and hardware configurations that support System Center
2012, and System Center 2012 SP1 support System Center 2012 R2. You can perform in-place
upgrades to transition from the System Center 2012 R2 or System Center 2012 R2 SP1 version
of a product to the System Center 2012 R2 version of a product.
If you have multiple System Center 2012 or System Center 2012 SP1 products deployed in
your environment, you need to ensure that you upgrade them in the following order:
1.
Orchestrator
2.
Service Manager
3.
DPM
4.
Operations Manager
5.
Configuration Manager
6.
VMM
App Controller
7.
Upgrading Orchestrator
If you plan to install Service Manager Automation to your environment, you should install it
prior to upgrading Orchestrator to 2012 R2. The general process of upgrading Orchestrator
involves:
1.
Backing up the Orchestrator database.
Stopping all Orchestrator runbooks.
2.
Uninstalling the Orchestrator management server, runbook servers, the Web Service,
and the Runbook Designer.
3.
Installing the System Center 2012 R2 Orchestrator management server.
