3 Upgrade Overview

Note:

If the upgrade is required from 8.6.x VM to 9.0.1, refer to Dual Hop Upgrade from SDS-8.6x to SDS-9.0.1 Using Ansible section.

This section lists the required materials and information needed to run an upgrade. It also provides a brief timing overview of the activities needed to upgrade the source release software that is installed and running on an SDS server to the target release software. The approximate time required is outlined in sections Upgrade Preparation Overview through Recovery Procedures Overview. These tables are used to plan and estimate the time necessary to complete the upgrade.

Timing values are estimates only. They estimate the completion time of a step or group of steps for an experienced user. These tables are not to be used to run procedures. Detailed steps for each procedure are provided in Upgrade Preparation.
