Hi @Varsha1

There is no specfic checklist as such,
but you can you refer to OS, kernal compatability check list from following URL

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.8/Installation/Systemrequirements#Unix_operating_systems

and its better to take backup of splunk directotries

and depeding on SPlunk component you are trying to upgarde OS, please check other dependent components are not affected during that time(ex. indexer in cluser)
