Issue/Introduction

Upgrading Reporter currently running on version 11.x. 

Note: 

  • Because of continuous, incremental changes to database architecture for each new Reporter version, you cannot downgrade the Reporter appliance or VA instance to a previous version. 
  • There is no need to regenerate databases. Reports function as they did before.
  • Currently, there is no option to upgrade the Reporter from Web user interface (GUI).

Environment

  2. Verify that no database is in the middle of a rebuild
     
  3. Verify that RAID is not performing a re-sync
