Upgrading to DPM 2010 from DPM 2007 When Using a Local Instance of SQL Server
Applies To: System Center Data Protection Manager 2010
Perform the following steps to upgrade to System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2010 from DPM 2007 SP1 when using a local instance of SQL Server 2008.
Important
Before you upgrade DPM, we strongly recommend that you back up your DPM 2007 database and store the backup file in a secure location. If your upgrade to DPM 2010 does not complete successfully, or if you need to go back to DPM 2007 SP1, you can roll back the upgrade without losing the benefit of protection that you previously had.
To upgrade to DPM 2010 from DPM 2007 when using a local instance of SQL Server
Log on to the DPM server using a domain user account that is a member of the local Administrators group.
If you are installing DPM from a network share, browse to the installation share, and then double-click Setup.exe in the root folder of the share.
On the Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager 2010 screen, click Install Data Protection Manager.
On the Microsoft Software License Terms page, review the license agreement. If you accept the terms, click I accept the license terms and conditions, and then click OK.
Note
After you click OK, DPM installs the Visual C++ Redistributable 2008 package and Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 if they have not already been installed.
On the Welcome page, click Next.
DPM begins a prerequisites check for all required hardware and software.
On the Prerequisites Check page, wait while DPM Setup checks the system to verify that it meets the software and hardware requirements.
If all required components are present, DPM Setup displays a confirmation message. Click Next to continue.
If one or more required or recommended components are missing or noncompliant, Setup displays a warning or error message.
Note
On the Prerequisites Installation page, DPM setup installs any prerequisite software required for setup. The DPM Setup Wizard indicates if a restart is required to complete the installation. If a restart is required, restart the DPM server, and then start DPM Setup again.
On the Product Registration page, enter a user name, company name, and a valid product key, and then in n the Protection agent licenses area do the following:
In the Standard licenses box, type the number of licenses that you have purchased to authorize protection of file resources and system state.
In the Enterprise licenses box, type the number of licenses that you have purchased to authorize protection of both file and application resources.
In the Client licenses box, type the number of licenses that you have purchased to authorize protection of client computers (laptops and desktops).
Note
If you purchase additional licenses after you set up DPM or reallocate licenses from one DPM server to another, you can update the number of available licenses for each DPM server in DPM Administrator Console. For information about updating your protection agent licenses, in DPM 2010 Help, see How to Update DPM License Information (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=196896).
On the Installation Settings page, do the following:
In the DPM Program Files section, the installation location defaults to the installation location of DPM 2007. This location cannot be changed.
In the SQL Server settings section, if DPM 2007 is installed with a local instance of SQL Server 2005, this setting cannot be changed. DPM 2010 will install a new instance of SQL Server 2008 SP1 on the DPM server.
On the Security Settings page, specify and then confirm a strong password for the restricted MICROSOFT$DPM$Acct and DPMR$<computer name> local user accounts, and then click Next.
For security purposes, DPM runs SQL Server and the SQL Server Agent service under the MICROSOFT$DPM$Acct account, which DPM Setup creates during the DPM installation. To securely generate reports, DPM creates the DPMR$<computer name> account.
On the Microsoft Update Opt-In page, specify if you want to sign up for the Microsoft Update service, and then click Next.
On the Customer Experience Improvement Program page, specify if you want to enlist in the Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP), and then click Upgrade.
You can change your CEIP settings at any time by using DPM Administrator Console. In the Selected Items area of any task area, click Options, click the Customer Feedback tab, and then select an option.
After the installation is complete, the Installation page displays the installation status.
Click Close, and then restart the computer to incorporate all DPM setup changes.
Important
You must restart the computer to incorporate all of the DPM Setup changes.
For information about additional tasks that you must perform after upgrading to DPM 2010, see After Upgrading to DPM 2010.
Note
If there are no problems after the upgrade, you can uninstall the MS$DPM2007$ instance of SQL Server because it is not required for DPM 2010.
