  • In-place upgrade: In this method, you can upgrade the server software in the same location that contained the V10.1.0 or later version of server software by using the helm upgrade command.

  • Upgrade (by new install): In this method, you can upgrade the server software by following one of the two methods, depending upon the existing version of the server software:
    • For V10.0.2, Fix Pack 1 or earlier: Back up the user data, and restore it as part of the installation process.
    • For V10.1.0 or later: Back up the user data, install the server software, and then restore it on the latest version of server software.
