After UFM installation, UFM detects existing UFM versions previously installed on the machine and prompts you to run a clean install of the new version or to upgrade. We recommend backing up the UFM configuration before upgrading the UFM as specified in the section UFM Database and Configuration File Backup.
Upgrading UFM Enterprise software is supported only from up to two previous GA versions (GA-1 or GA-2). For example, if you wish to upgrade to UFM Enterprise v6.17.0, it is possible to do so only from UFM Enterprise v6.16.0 or v6.15.0.
Upgrading UFM from an LTS version to a GA version, and vice versa, is not supported. Users can upgrade from GA-1 or GA-2 to the selected GA version, or — in the case of a UFM LTS version — from a specific LTS update version to a newer update on the same LTS (for example, upgrading from LTS-2024-U1 to LTS-2024-U3).
For the following UFM configuration files: gv.cfg, reports.cfg, opensm.conf, gui.properties, sharp_am.conf, UFMInfraHealthConfiguration.xml and UFMHealthConfiguration.xml, parameter values are preserved during the upgrade process. After the upgrade is complete, any values set by the user will remain unchanged.
