This section describes the tasks to upgrade Symantec Dynamic Multi-Pathing for Windows to Symantec Storage Foundation for Windows (SFW) or Symantec Storage Foundation and High Availability Solutions for Windows (SFW HA).
You can perform this upgrade only if you have DMP 6.1 installed. If your current installation does not meet this minimum required level, you must manually apply the appropriate product upgrades to meet the minimum product level required before proceeding with the installer.
If you have Microsoft failover cluster configured, note the following points before you begin to upgrade the cluster nodes:
To upgrade to Symantec Storage Foundation, you must first install Symantec Storage Foundation on the inactive nodes of the cluster. Use the Move Group command in Microsoft failover cluster to move the active node and then install Symantec Storage Foundation on the remaining cluster nodes.
To upgrade to SFW HA, you must unconfigure the Microsoft failover cluster and then install SFW HA.
