Updating your Azure Site Recovery On-Premises components

Ensure that your on-premises management appliance is up to date by navigating to the Appliance configuration manager. If not, download the latest version for the components that are behind the latest version.
Go to the Azure portal, and then go to the Protected Items > Replicated Items page. Select a VM on this page. Select the Update Agent button that appears at the bottom of the page for each VM. This updates the Mobility Service Agent on all protected VMs.
