Hey all
The prime 3.8 release notes have this little nugget in them:
If your existing Prime Infrastructure is 3.6.x or 3.7.x, and your upgrade path contains 3.4.x or earlier versions, then you cannot in-line upgrade that server to Prime Infrastructure 3.8 due to security vulnerabilities in the underlying Red Hat 6 installation. You will need to take a backup of the Prime Infrastructure 3.6.x or 3.7.x server, deploy a fresh Prime Infrastructure 3.8 server, and restore that backup into the Prime Infrastructure 3.8 server.
I really don't remember when I last did a fresh installation of my PI. Do you happen to know if there is some root shell command to see if my upgrade path contained a 3.4 or earlier version?
I hate reinstallation, as that takes considerably more steps than an upgrade.
Thanks
Patrick

Prime 3.8 inline upgrade does not work. Pls do the fresh installation if you are planning to go to 3.8.
It failed my test prime 3.7 upgrades and had to do a fresh installation to fix it. Here is some proof many had the same issue

- The topic has been discussed before, and I would consider it of lesser importance, albeit 3.4 having being used or not, I do recommend the fresh install for 3.8 anyway to be on the safe side and or to no longer carry on other security issues from other Red Hat versions, if any.

Thank you Rasika and Marce. In that case I'll do the long road with the fresh installation.
