Customer is not able to do an in-place upgrade from 7.1 to 7.2 and is looking for best practices for upgrading.

7.2 requires a Linux OS upgrade. What is the recommended order for the OS upgrade? Should OS get upgraded before IG&L gets upgraded to 7.2?

Correct Answer

If the OS is incompatible (i.e. not RHEL 7.2+ or SUSE 12 SP4) then

Take a full backup of the database using the export utility.
Copy the encryption keys
Reimage hardware or create a new Virtual machine with supported OS.
Install RSA IGL 7.2
Import encryption keys
Import database.
Run migration

Alternatively, you can create another VM in parallel, have the 7.2 installed and import the database.
