Upgrade Stealthwatch 7.0 procedure

[Pegasusxl666]

Hi everyone

I have a doubt about this appliance and its upgrade

I follow the guide steps but these 2 names me confused, back Up Databases for the SMC (Manager) and Flow Collector  vs Back Up Data Store. It's not the same thing ?, I did the backup database for the SMC (Manager) and Flow Collector I thought it was sufficient.

Thanks for you advice

what is the version you looking to upgrade  - As per the upgrade concern :

Back Up the Flow Collector and SMC Databases  - good to upgrade.

Note : always read the release noted and upgrde steps for target version, (if the upgrade steps mentioned to take backup data store, there may be reason for this, due to schema change or new schema introduced) - this will help to restore for TAC assistance point of view for safer side)

Hi @Pegasusxl666,

Please be aware, that Data Store will come with version 7.3 and is not present in 7.0, so, as @balaji.bandi already said, focus on the upgrading guide you want to upgrade to.
