I have two machines that have SQL Server 2008R2 Standard Edition on them and they participate in Log Shipping. I am having to do an in-place upgrade. I know it is not recommended but I have tried unsuccessfully to get around it.The Secondary is in Standby (Read Only) mode. My assumption is that a DB in Standby Mode from Log Shipping would cause an in place upgrade to fail. My plan is to stop the RESTORE job so I can do the last restore using WITH RECOVERY to bring the database online prior to running the upgrade. I plan to then stop the BACKUP job on the Primary prior to upgrading that SQL instance. I was then going to take a new full backup of the Primary to restore to the Secondary to kick off Log Shipping again. Will this work or do I have to completely tear down Log Shipping and build it back up after both SQL instances have been upgraded?
