Upgrading Exchange Server 2010 to a service pack

This section describes how to upgrade Exchange Server 2010 to any 2010 service pack. It is applicable only if you already have Exchange 2010 setup in an InfoScale environment.

Before you proceed to upgrade to a service pack, ensure that you have met all the necessary pre-requisites for installing the service pack on all the cluster nodes where you are upgrading Exchange.

For details refer to Microsoft documentation.

To upgrade Exchange 2010 to a service pack

  1. Using the VCS Cluster Manager (Java Console), bring the Exchange service group online.
  2. Stop HAD on all the cluster nodes where you want to upgrade the Exchange installation. At the command prompt, type:

    hastop -local -force

  3. Launch the Exchange 2010 service pack installer and install the service pack.

    You can install the service pack parallel on all the nodes, where you are upgrading Exchange. In case of disaster recovery, you can simultaneously upgrade both the sites.
