Upgrade Path for 6.2.0.355? Documentation Unclear
Hello, for this question, I am referencing the documentation page: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SOARonprem/6.2.2/Install/UpgradePathForUnprivilegedInstalls
There are two sets of conflicting information, and I do not know how to proceed with my ON PREMISE, UNPRIVILEGED, PRIMARY + WARM STANDBY CONFIGURATION (database is on the instances, not external):
- At the top of the documentation, it states:
- Unprivileged Splunk SOAR (On-premises) running a release earlier than release 6.2.1 can be upgraded to Splunk SOAR (On-premises) release 6.2.1, and then to release 6.2.2.
- It says CAN BE. So.... is it optional?
- All deployments must upgrade to Splunk SOAR (On-premises) 6.2.1 before upgrading to higher releases in order to upgrade the PostgreSQL database.
- It says MUST UPGRADE. So.... is it mandatory?
- But then, towards the BOTTOM of the table, I'm looking at the row beginning with the entry stating that I am starting with version "6.2.0"
- Steps 1 & 2 are conditionals for clustered and external PostGreSQL databases.
- Step 3 goes directly to upgrading to 6.2.2.
So..... Do I, or do I NOT, upgrade to 6.2.1 first?

You skipped the first point which says that early versions must be upgraded one by one until you reach 4.10.something. From there on you don't have to go version by version, you can skip straight to 6.2.1. But you can't upgrade from other version than 6.2.1 to 6.2.2.
That's how I read it.

That's what I thought, too. So I was surprised when I looked at the upgrade path table and did not see it mention upgrading to 6.2.1 first, and then going to 6.2.2 if you started at 6.2.0. 🤔
