Performing the product upgrade
The product upgrade tasks are based on the type of configuration you have deployed.
Typically, the upgrade scenarios can be classified in the following categories:
Upgrading SFW Basic or SFW in a non-clustered environment
Upgrading SFW Basic or SFW in a Microsoft Failover Cluster environment
Upgrading VCS
Upgrading SFW HA
Upgrading SFW HA in a setup that has replication configured
Upgrading DMP
Note:
If you had installed the InfoScale clients only, you cannot upgrade them to the current version. To install the latest version of clients-only, uninstall the earlier version and then install the current version.
The following sections provide details about the tasks that are involved in each of these scenarios and the corresponding InfoScale product to upgrade to.
Note:
Before you begin with the product upgrade, ensure that you have reviewed the supported upgrade paths, the installation prerequisites, and the licensing details.
