Step 9. Upgrade to Veeam Backup & Replication 12.1

It is essential that you upgrade to version 12.1 every remote Veeam Backup & Replication server connected to Orchestrator. This version contains numerous enhancements and fixes required for the Orchestrator integration. To perform upgrade of Veeam Backup & Replication to version 12.1, follow the instructions provided in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide, section Upgrading to Veeam Backup & Replication 12.1, and in this Veeam KB article.

After the upgrade process completes, do the following:

1. Open the Veeam Backup & Replication console on each remote Veeam Backup & Replication server to update configured virtual labs. To perform the update, follow the steps of the Edit Virtual Lab wizard.

For more information on editing Veeam Backup & Replication virtual labs, see the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide, section Editing and Deleting Virtual Labs.

2. Open the Veeam Backup & Replication console on each remote Veeam Backup & Replication server to update Veeam Backup & Replication components installed on all managed servers. To perform the update, follow the steps of the Components Update wizard.

For more information on updating server components, see the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide, section Server Components Upgrade.

3. Open the Orchestrator UI and make sure all Orchestrator agents running on remote Veeam Backup & Replication servers have also been upgraded successfully.

To do that, switch to the Administration page, navigate to Orchestrator Agents and check the status of each connected Veeam Backup & Replication server. If you encounter a connection issue with an Orchestrator agent, repair the agent as described in section Repairing Orchestrator Agents.
