If you install a new version of a third-party storage manager, install it before you bring up the database server. Update the sm_versions file with the new storage-manager definition. If you have continuous logical-log backup set up on the database server, ON–Bar can start backing up the logical logs soon after the database server comes online. Also make sure that the new storage-manager version is able to read media written with your old version.
Make sure that the storage manager can find the backup objects that ON–Bar requests. Use the onsmsync utility to expire old backup history in the sysutils database and emergency boot files.
In Extended Parallel Server only, ensure that the BAR_SM parameters in the ONCONFIG file match the new storage-manager definition.
