    2. then form BVMS 9 to version 10.1
    3. then from BVMS 10.1 to version 11.1.1
    4. then from BVMS 11.1.1 to 12.0.1

     

    note.png Please note, that previous BVMS release (12.0.1) was the last version supported for DIVAR IP 7000 R2 (DIP-71xx) appliances
    • Windows (Storage) Server 2012 R2 (64-bit), used in DIP-71xx, is only supported when updating your BVMS from version 10.1 or lower. MS SQL Server 2019, used as a standard version for BVMS 11.0 or higher, is not supported anymore on Windows (Storage) Server 2012 R2 (64-bit). Therefore, in case of an upgrade scenario, MS SQL Server will remain on version 2017 and such combination is still supported with BVMS 11.0 through BVMS 12.0.1.
      However, for this reason it is not possible to deploy new BVMS 11.0 or higher installation on Windows (Storage) Server 2012 R2, as MS SQL 2019 installation will fail. 
    • Windows (Storage) Server 2012 R2 (64-bit) is not supported for BVMS 12.1.0, and thus a DIP-71xx upgrade to this version is not supported.
    • Audit Trail feature is not supported and cannot be installed on DIVAR IP 7000 R2 (DIP-71xx) appliance, running Windows (Storage) Server 2012 operating system
