    Hello all,

    I am curious to know what are all the challenges if we try to upgrade from 4.6.1 to 6.1 Lavastorm version.

    Whether it's an upgrade/installation meaning, can't we upgrade this version 6.1 on top of Lavastorm 4.6.1 version if so, how? Please provide the link.

    Have read in the forum that existing graphs would be partially supported if it's converted to be compatible with the new version (6.1). Please list down the process of conversion. Is it easy or if it's not, what is the way you suggest to do the same as we have bunch of projects running Lavastorm 4.6.1.

    How about OS compatibility, we have Suse Linux 11, patch level 3, would it support this OS?

    As we have Lavastorm version 4.6.1, could we directly start our upgrade process to 6.1 or we will have to go step by step by installating/upgrading the next version 5.0 and on top of it, should we proceed with Lavastorm 6.1 installation/upgradation?

    What are all the features, which are deprecated over 4.6.1 in 6.1?

    What if one feature is not going to work in 6.1, which was working in 4.6.1, do we have an alternative to cover that issue?

    Please help us with these questions with the suitable answers.

    Thanks,

    Vijay

    Best way to upgrade is to do a fresh installation. Dont overlap. If you are upgrading form 5 to 6 version most of the graphs and steps will work. Make sure to move the jar files as needed.

    1) Go to this web page http://www.lavastorm.com/current-rel...orm-libraries/
    1a) Download the "Linux" version of the 6.1.48 library
    1b) Download and read the Release Notes
    2) Place that file somewhere on your server and mark it executable
    3) Notify users of a short downtime
    4) Take down all 3 LAE processes: LAE_Server, Jetty, H2 (database)
    5) Run the file above by typing "bash <filename>" at a command line
    6) Accept the Terms&Conditions
    7) The installer will load the updated software
    8) Restart LAE
    9) Notify ALL users that they must upgrade their BRE clients to the version 6.1.48 (also available on the link above)
