Upgrading the Enterprise Vault databases

Before you start any Enterprise Vault services, you must upgrade the Enterprise Vault databases.

Enterprise Vault provides a PowerShell cmdlet called Start-EVDatabaseUpgrade, which you can use to upgrade all Enterprise Vault databases.

To upgrade Enterprise Vault's databases

On the Enterprise Vault server, log in using the Vault Service account.
Run the Enterprise Vault Management Shell.
In the Enterprise Vault Management Shell, run the following command:
Start-EVDatabaseUpgrade
Note that you can also run Start-EVDatabaseUpgrade -verbose if you want to see detailed output.
Wait for Start-EVDatabaseUpgrade to complete the upgrade of all the databases.

When the upgrade is complete, you can examine the upgrade reports for errors.

Start-EVDatabaseUpgrade writes the reports in the Reports\DBUpgrade subfolder of the Enterprise Vault installation folder (for example C:\Program Files (x86)\Enterprise Vault).
