Need Advised NIOS Upgrade Path

[#1]

Dear Expert,

Need advised what is the upgrade path from version 6.12.9 and 6.12.11 to 8.3.8. Many thanks!

Looks like an intermediate upgrade to 7.3.18 and then upgrade to 8.3.8 providing your hardware is compliant.

Hey Rich,

I would like to upgrade from 7.2.5 to 7.3.18. is that possible? are you aware of any issues for this NIOS path. Once the box is upgarde to 7.3.18, I would like to upgarde to to 8.4.8. could you please advise.

 I would like to upgrade from 8.5.4 to 8.6.2 . Can it be done directly or  upgrade path

For upgrades to 8.6.2, here is the guidance from release notes (available on support.infoblox.com):

Infoblox supports the following upgrade paths:
● 8.6.1 and earlier 8.6.x releases
● 8.5.5 and earlier 8.5.x releases
● 8.4.8 and earlier 8.4.x releases
● 8.3.8 and earlier 8.3.x releases
Even though Infoblox supports the upgrade paths mentioned above, Infoblox has tested and validated only the following upgrade paths for NIOS 8.6.2. Infoblox recommends that you upgrade to NIOS 8.6.2 from these tested and validated releases:
8.6.1, 8.5.5, 8.4.8, and 8.3.8
