Oracle VM Release 3.x is not backwardly
compatible with Oracle VM Release 2.x.
If you are using Oracle VM Release 2.x
you cannot upgrade to Release 3.x. You
must reinstall your Oracle VM Servers and Oracle VM Manager. You can,
however, reuse your virtual machine templates from Oracle VM
Release 2.x by importing them into
Oracle VM 3.x.
For information on repository migration from Oracle VM Release 2 to Oracle VM Release 3, see the My Oracle Support website at: https://support.oracle.com/oip/faces/secure/km/DocumentDisplay.jspx?id=1366216.1
The upgrade procedures discussed in this chapter refer to upgrades
between Oracle VM 3.x releases, for
example, upgrading from Oracle VM Release 3.0.1 to 3.0.3, or from
Release 3.0.3 to 3.1.1 This chapter outlines the upgrade process for
all the components of Oracle VM when upgrading to minimize down
time and make sure the upgrade process is performed in the correct
order.
Generally, there is no need to perform incremental upgrades
between releases; that is, you can skip releases as long as you
upgrade from Oracle VM 3.x to
3.x. For example, you can upgrade
from Release 3.0.2 to 3.1.1. The exception to this is if you are
running Oracle VM Release 3.0.1, where you must first upgrade
to Release 3.0.2 or 3.0.3 before upgrading to Release 3.1.1.
