This topic describes the steps for upgrading a single instance of SkyVault.

The main stages involved in upgrading and configuring SkyVault are shown in the diagram. These include preparing your system for upgrade, installing SkyVault as an out-of-box application, configuring it based on your requirements, restoring production data, and finally, testing and getting familiar to SkyVault.

Each of these main stages consist of sub-steps, as shown in the diagram, which displays the sub-steps that need to be performed in order to complete each main stage.
Note: Note that the steps shown in the diagrams have a colour code. For example, Restoring production data stage consists of three sub-steps, namely, Stop the SkyVault server, Restore production data, and Start the SkyVault server.
Note: SkyVault recommends that you upgrade SkyVault in a test environment before you upgrade it in your production environment.
