Issue
When upgrading to RSA Authentication Manager 8.x, or from a lower version of 8.x to a more recent version, there are some steps that should be done before the upgrade process as prerequisites, and other steps should be done after the upgrade process is finished to ensure successful upgrade for RSA instance(s).
The PDF attached to this KB article includes the links for iso-images for old versions/patches that are no longer supported like 8.1, 8.1 SP1, 8.2, and 8.2 SP1 required for the upgrade process.
Hence, a unified document attached to the KB article addressed all the issues mentioned above.
