Supported upgrade paths
If you are on an unsupported operating system version, ensure that you first upgrade to a supported verison of the operating system. Also, upgrades between major operating system versions are not supported, for example, from RHEL 6 to RHEL 7. If you plan to move between major operating system versions, you need to reinstall the product. For supported operating system versions, see the Veritas InfoScale Release Notes.
Table: Supported upgrade paths on RHEL and Oracle Linux lists the supported upgrade paths for upgrades on RHEL and Oracle Linux.
