Upgrade
Refer to the Upgrade matrix before you upgrade to a newer version.
For upgrades from version 5.3.9 or older to version 6.0.0.0 or newer, contact Delphix support to help coordinate your upgrade.
Upgrades from version 6.0.0.0 to newer versions (For example: 6.0.0.0 → 6.0.7.0) include pre-checks packaged in the upgrade image. Contacting Delphix support is not required.
Multiple Device Removal on engines version 6.0.12.0 to 6.0.17.2
For Data Engine versions between 6.0.12.0 and 6.0.17.2, there is a critical kernel module change that impacts the Multiple Device Removal feature. This change requiress a reboot to activate the new module. If your engine is still on versions within this range and has undergone a deferred reboot upgrade, it will not support Multiple Device Removal without a system reboot. Post-reboot, the feature functions normally.
In versions 7.0.0.0 and above, Multiple Device Removal operates normally for both deferred reboot upgrades and full upgrades.
Block-to-object storage migration
For kernel versions below 15.0.0.0, in-place block-to-object storage migration is not possible. To utilize this feature, you must first complete a full upgrade to version 15.0.0.0 or higher.
