Upgrade Key Planning Steps

The key planning steps for the upgrade are listed here. The complete list of planning steps must be obtained from the upgrade guide.

• Download the upgrade software.

• Download the upgrade guides (upgrade master guide, technical upgrade guide, and upgrade OSS Notes).

• Download the target release support packages and any add-ons.

• Download the JCE policy file.

• Allocate 25GB of disk space for the upgrade directory where all the logs and upgrade information are written. Ensure that the allocated space is local and is not NFS-mounted. Using NFS-mounted space may cause the upgrade to run slower.

• Extend the file systems to meet target release needs.

• Generate a Solution Manager key.

• Obtain the upgrade keyword.
