ARS upgrade path from 6.8 to 7.3?

I've been tasked with upgrading our Quest ARS environment.  Is there any documentation or recommendation on an upgrade path from ARS 6.8 to 7.3?  Our 6.8 environment is a just single server and management wants to go with a full HA/DR solution with 7.3 (if supported).  TIA.

    Hi Questnewb,

    You will need to perform the following upgrade path:

    6.8 > 6.9 > 7.3.1

    Since 6.9 is EOL, it's no longer available to download on the support site. I would advise that you log a support case for the upgrade in order to get a copy of the 6.9 installation files. These should contain the appropriate documentation to get you through the upgrade to 6.9. Once that's completed, you can have a look at the below documentation page for 7.3.1. I suggest both the Administrator Guide and the Quick Start Guide. I do suggest reading through them in their entirety prior to doing the upgrade to best equip yourself for the upgrade.

    One important thing to note that comes to mind is that web interface customizations going from 6.x to 7.x are not supported. So if you do have any web interface customizations, you will need to recreate those customizations in the new web interface. I suggest installing the 7.3.1 on a new server in order to allow yourself access to the existing web interface to compare.

    I hope this helps, and good luck with the upgrade. Remember that Support is just a call or email away.
