Hi all,
I noticed that you can't upgrade a PI 3.5 to 3.9, even doing a multi-step upgrade if the system ever had 3.4x or prior installed thanks to a RHEL vulnerability.
I am happy to build a new 3.9 VM - but my questions is, will I be able to import the 3.5 maps and configuration backups directly in to 3.9?

You need to have 3.7 minimum to data restore on 3.9 (but you need to go as below )
3.7 take backup config
Fresh install of 3.8 and restore (no less tahn 3.7 backup config will be accepted here)
after restore, you can do inline upgrade to 3.9

Hi
I have tried to go to 3.9 with a 3.7 backup and gets the unsupported error when trying
Why do you need to go through 3.8 before going to 3.9, the manual/release notes states that you can go to 3.9 and restore a backup from 3.7

If your existing Prime Infrastructure is 3.7.x or 3.8.x, and your upgrade path contains 3.4.x or earlier versions, then you cannot in-line upgrade that server to Prime Infrastructure 3.9 due to security vulnerabilities in the underlying Red Hat 6 installation. You will need to take a backup of the Prime Infrastructure 3.7.x or 3.8.x server, deploy a fresh Prime Infrastructure 3.9 server, and restore that backup into the Prime Infrastructure 3.9 server.

I am aware of the fresh 3.9 install reference and that is what i tried with the "not supported" error, the backup is from a 3.7 system
Can the step with a fresh install of 3.8 and a inline upgrade to 3.9 solve this problem?

- Although there is room for doubt in the mentioned statement , I would still not advice it and go for the fresh install option (3.9) and restore the 3.8-environmant from backup.

Hi again.
I have succeded with the restore of the 3.7 db to a fresh install to a 3.8 system.
One important thing is that the backup taken MUST explicit be an application backup of the 3.7 system
This was my original mistake when trying to restore an appliance backup instead of a application....
So dont forget to check your backup from the older system so that's a applicaion backup
This small but important note should be added to the relasenotes and also to the install/upgrade guides
Hope this can be of some help in the upgrade process of the CPI
