During the upgrade, the installation program performs the following tasks:
Stops the product before starting the upgrade
Upgrades the installed packages and installs additional packages
If your current installation uses a permanent license key, you will be prompted to update the license to 7.0. If you choose not to update, you can continue to use the old license, limiting the capability of your product to the corresponding component. For example, if you choose not to update the permanent license of your existing SFCFSHA installation, the installer after upgrade will enable SFCFSHA component. The capabilities of other components in the product Veritas InfoScale Enterprise will not be available to you. If your installation uses a keyless license, the installer registers the new keys for the new product with full product capabilities.
Restores the existing configuration.
For example, if your setup contains an SF installation, the installer upgrades and restores the configuration to SF. If your setup included multiple components, the installer upgrades and restores the configuration of the components.
Starts the configured components.
