DFM upgrade 5.0 to 5.1 in a Cluster Setup - Windows

sune — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:05:10 GMT

IHAC who is trying to upgrade his 5.0X DFM to 5.1

The first node in the Cluster goes well but the second one says:

Failed to start sql service. Aborting the installation. Manually stop any service that is running, and reinstall.

Database are upgraded with the first node so its seem that the customer are in a catch 22 situation –

do you know if there is a good TR / kb on this topic ?

The reason for this exercise is OCHP 1.2 in a virtual infrastructure where the OCHP 1.2 is not supported on DFM 5.0X and

he cant exclude his independent, persistent disks – well it doesnt work it takes all no matter what,

Any ideas thoughts `?
