# PRB: Cannot Perform Remote Upgrades on OS/2 SQL Server

ID: Q118511

## SYMPTOMS

An attempt to upgrade a remote OS/2 SQL Server using Setup versions prior to version 4.2a results in the error:

> Unable to start SQL Server.

Attempting to perform a remote upgrade from version 4.2a or later Setup version results in the error:

> Setup does not support remote upgrade.

## CAUSE

Remote upgrade is unsupported.

## WORKAROUND

A local upgrade can be done instead. Alternatively, the databases can be dumped, a remote install from scratch can be done, and the data can be re- loaded from backup.
