Hi - I am currently running VDP 5.1 on an old ESXi 5.1 host.
I have bought a new ESXi host running 5.1 U1
I would like to upgrade to VDP 5.5.1 but would rather install a fresh copy of VDP 5.5.1 on the new server and not upgrade or move the old VDP 5.1
However... I would like to keep the old VDP 5.1 just in case I ever need to go back to it for some unforeseen reason (highly unlikely). I don't mind starting a fresh backup routine/database with the new 5.5.1.
How can I uninstall 5.1 from my vCenter 5.1 U1 server without deleting the existing backups and then install a fresh VDP 5.5.1 with a brand new database?
The following KB explains how to uninstall VDP but its deletes all the backup data ( VMware KB: Uninstalling vSphere Data Protection from vCenter Server )
How Can I remove VDP from vCenter without actually deleting the data and then also install VDP 5.5 on the same vCenter but to an new ESXi host?
Thanks,
