Operations Manager 2012 SP1 (7.0.9538.0) to Operations Manager 2012 R2 (7.1.10226.0)

Environment: Distributed: 4 Servers, Database on SQL Cluster, DW on Single SQL Server with Reporting server role.

Planning upgrade from Operations Manager 2012 SP1 (7.0.9538.0) to Operations Manager 2012 R2 (7.1.10226.0) first and then to R2 CU5 (7.1.10226.1052)

IS this supported? Are there any gotchas??

Any suggestions/guidance appreciated.

Thanks

Hi

In General the upgrade is relatively painless as long you make sure you meet all the pre-requisites. If I were you I would start with the latest UR's and apply also the latest UR on the SCOM 2012 R2 MG which is UR7

The only supported upgrade path to System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager is from System Center 2012 Service Pack 1 (SP1), Operations Manager. If you are upgrading from System Center 2012  Operations Manager, you must first upgrade to System Center 2012 Service Pack 1 (SP1), Operations Manager before upgrading to System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager. See Upgrading to System Center 2012 - Operations Manager and Upgrading System Center 2012 Operations Manager to System Center 2012 SP1 for complete upgrade information.
