Upgrade Paths
Upgrades are incremental. To upgrade successfully, use the following paths:
- Vertica 7.0 to 7.1
- Vertica 7.1 to 7.2
- Vertica 7.2 to 8.0
- Vertica 8.0 to 8.1
Note: You cannot upgrade Vertica from versions 7.x to a FIPS-enabled 8.0 system. For more information on FIPS see Federal Information Processing Standard.
Be sure to read the Release Notes and New Features for each version in your path. Documentation for the current Vertica version is available in the RPM, and at http://my.vertica.com/docs, which also provides access to documentation for earlier versions.
To upgrade from an earlier version, please contact Vertica Technical Support for assistance.
