    Thanks for sharing Swathi, I guess the inline upgrade is still preferable since it is getting stable from version 12.1 and above.

    Many thanks for that. Great article, however, we need to upgrade our SQL database in order to upgrade to 12.1 RU3. The documentation clearly states that Microsoft SQL Server 2012 is a supported platform for the database, does anyone know if a clustered SQL 2012 server is a supported platform? Our DBA is asking so that we can migrate the SEP db onto a new platform. many thanks.

    Hello,

    It would work perfectly. Only you would required SQL native client on the SEPM machine. SQL native client does the job of mediator for connectivity between SEPM and remote SQL database.

    Check this Article: 

    What are the requirements for installing a remote Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM) database on a SQL Server clustered server.

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH153497

    It states:

    • The are no specific requirements for installing SEP Manager database on a remote clustered SQL server.
    • It is not supported to install the SEP Manager on a clustered server.
    • You can install the SEP client on the clustered SQL server.

    Secondly, check these articles for your issue:

    Migrating to Microsoft SQL 2008 from a previous version

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO17917

    Hope that helps!!
