■ Zerto recommends upgrading to the latest version of Zerto that supports the environment you are using. See the Zerto Interoperability Matrix for the list of environments supported by this version of Zerto.
■ The order you upgrade the sites, protected or recovery, is not relevant as long as paired sites remain only one version apart, that is, only one version higher or lower.
■ When upgrading from versions prior to Zerto 6.0U2, changing the Journal Size Hard Limit requires restarting the VRAs.
■ During an upgrade from v6.0x to v6.5, all back up and repositories configurations are deleted.
Note: Upgrade releases are considered to be upgrades of the same version. Releases 6.0, 6.0U1, etc., are the same version.
■ The following table shows what version you can upgrade to, based on the current version running at the site:
