Upgrade Paths

You may upgrade STA only from the previous two released versions of STA. Any other version is not upgradable. The following upgrade paths are supported:

•	STA 1.0.0.99 to 1.0.2.x

•	STA 1.0.1.133 to 1.0.2.x

•	STA 1.0.0.99 to 1.0.1.133 to 1.0.2.x

Before Upgrading STA

Before upgrading STA, take note of the following:

•	It is not necessary to uninstall the current version of STA before upgrading to a new version. The installer package for the new version will update the appropriate files automatically.

•	After the upgrade, STA will process new data according to the upgraded version’s schema. Historical data is not impacted by the upgrade.

•

Oracle highly recommends you back up the STA database before and after performing the upgrade. To configure the STA Backup Service, see the “Configuring STA Services” chapter of the StorageTek Tape Analytics Configuration Guide. To administer the STA Backup Service, see Chapter 3, “Database Services Administration”.

Caution – Database backups created with the STA Backup Service will no longer be valid after upgrading to a new STA version. If you desire to keep existing backups, you should move them to another location before upgrading.

•	During the upgrade process, the installer creates a .tar file that contains backup copies of the following directories:

/Oracle/StorageTek_Tape_Analytics /Oracle/StorageTek_Tape_Analytics/install

After the upgrade is complete and you are certain the upgrade was a success, you may delete this file. The file is located in:

/Oracle/StorageTek_Tape_Analytics/backup_x.x.x.xx

where x.x.x.xx is the previous STA version number.
