Chapter 14: Database Administration 215
If you have a main and standby setup, check that they are synchronized. If this is
not the case, Vizrt support must be informed and any schema upgrade cannot go
ahead before this is rectified. If it cannot be solved, a full recreation of the
standby server may be needed before continuing. Also, a set time is needed where
you can break the synchronization between the two databases.
Upgrade Limitations
When upgrading from a VCP 4.x or older version it is advisable to contact a local
Vizrt representative or support person so they can advise on how to proceed.
Some features found in VCP 4.x are not available in VCP 5.x.
When upgrading from a previous VCP 5.x version it is advisable to upgrade the
database schema to the latest schema version that is compatible with the sofware
version. When upgrading the database, please use the Database Administration
tool. For more information on supported schema version, please see the release
notes.

Start the VCP DBA, either of the following ways:
