SAP HANA Plug-In Upgrade

[karsten123]

Hi huys,

i am going to upgrade a VBR server from 10.0.0 to 11a.
The plug-in for SAP HANA is on version 9.5.4 and is installed on a SLES virtual machine.

I know from documentation that the backup job isn‘t running right after the VBR upgrade to 11a until i upgrade the plug-in.

Is it possible to upgrade from 9.5.4 to 11a directly without configuration loss?
What is the best upgrade path?
And do you know if the upgrade of the plug-in is forcing a reboot of the SLES machines?

Do you have experience on that to share?

Thanks in advance
Karsten

Hello,
yes, the configuration stays the same. Upgrade is one rpm command. Make sure to upgrade the backup files for better performance.

I cannot remember any situation where a plugin would require reboot.

Best regards,
Hannes
