•
•
•
•
Less granular control over upgrade process
Instance remains offline during part of upgrade
Not best practice for all components
Considerations for Rollback Strategy
•
•
•
•
More granular control over upgrade process at DB level
Can be used to perform test migration
Ability to run systems side-by-side for parallel runs
Relatively straightforward rollback strategy

Goes frequently together with OS upgrade
Goes frequently together with platform upgrade (x86->x64)

•
Easier, mostly automated, generally fast overall process
System data upgraded
May require no additional hardware
Applications remain pointing to same server/DB
•

•
Usually require additional hardware
Server/database name changes
Not practical for VLDB unless utilizing SAN
