Install the New Linux Version (Task 4)

STA 2.4.0 is supported on Oracle Linux 7.8 and 7.9. If the server is not running this version, you must upgrade it. If the server is already running a supported Linux version, skip this procedure.

Caution:

Installing a new operating system destroys all data on the server. Make sure you have backed up the database if using the single-server method.

  1. For a two-server upgrade, this is the first task performed. For the single-server upgrade method, make sure you have completed Dump the Old STA Database (Task 1) and Transfer the Old Database Dump (Task 2).
  2. Install a supported version of Linux.
