Between two on-premises
VMM sites
- Download the latest update rollup for Microsoft Azure Site Recovery Provider.
- Install Update Rollup first on the on-premises VMM server that's managing the recovery site.
- After the recovery site is updated, install Update Rollup on the VMM server that's managing the primary site.
Note If the VMM is a Highly
Available VMM (Clustered VMM), make sure that you install the upgrade on all
nodes of the cluster where the VMM service is installed.

Between an on-premises
VMware or physical site to Azure
- Update your on-premises management server by downloading Microsoft Azure Site Recovery Unified Setup. This is the server that has the Configuration server and Process server roles.
- If you have scale-out process servers, update them next by using Microsoft Azure Site Recovery Unified Setup.
- Go to the Azure portal > Protected Items > Replicated Items page. Select a VM on this page. Select the Update Agent button that appears at the bottom of the page for each VM. This updates the Mobility Service Agent on all protected VMs.
A restart is recommended
after every upgrade of Mobility agent to make sure that all the latest changes
are loaded on the source computer. However, this step is not mandatory. If the
difference between agent version during the last restart and the current
version is greater than 4, a restart is mandatory. Refer to the following
table for a detailed explanation.

the last restart was performed and the target version 9.21) is greater than 4 versions. |
