Upgrading VMware Site Recovery Manager from 5.8 to 6.1.1

Image result for fall upgrades

So the Summer is over, school is back, Fall is here, iOS10 has been released and everyone is itching to upgrade stuff.  It’s what you do before the end of the year.  Finish crossing things off your lists before starting new lists. #NewYearResolutions

Today, I am upgrading a client’s VMware  Site Recovery Manager from 5.8 to 6.1.1 (the latest at the time of this writing).  Not so fast though…  Looks like there is no direct upgrade from SRM 5.8 to 6.1.1. Sad smile  

Looks like you have to take a slight detour to 6.0 first and then upgrade to 6.1.1.  Whew!
