Prime Infrastructure 3.0 (NCS[GEN1]) to 3.6 (UCS[GEN2] Upgrade, Migrat

[kanghoon]

I want to upgrade and migrate from Prime Infrastructure 3.0(PRIME-NCS[GEN1]) to 3.6(PRIME-UCS[GEN2]).

I've been trying to find documentation on this, but I can't even check if it's possible and license compatibility.

Please help with reference materials or guides for carrying out the above purpose.

      The document probably answers your questions partially only  ,for the rest I would advise to take database backup on current installation and build 3.6 according to above link (requirements) and restore database (license will be included).

Hi

 For physical device, keep in mind this requirements 

"Physical Appliance running Prime Infrastructure 3.4.x or 3.5.x to Prime Infrastructure 3.6. If the existing setup has 3.1.x, 3.2.x, or 3.3.x versions, you must first upgrade it to 3.4.x version so as to upgrade to Prime Infrastructure 3.6 version."

For virtual appliance, is basiically a new ova installation and data base restore from previous version, if requered 

However, make sure you attend vm requirements
