The upgrade from Arellia 8.0 to 8.1 is extremely easy. The server is upgraded through the Arellia Management Server and the agents are upgraded by deploying the latest agent MSI files.

Prerequisites

 

...

Microsoft SQL Server 2014

We have added support for SQL Server 2014 in Arellia 8.1. As part of this work we have upgraded the version of Microsoft SQLServer Data-Tier Application Framework (DACFx)

...

that we use from 11.1 to 12.0.

New installs of 8.1 will automatically install DACFx 12.0 as part of the Web Platform Installation.

In-place upgrades will require the installation of the DACFx (June 2014) package from the Microsoft Web Platform Installer feed before running the upgrade steps below.

Tip

To automate the installation of the DACFx (June 2014) package you can download and run this PowerShell script
