Given the fact that this was a relatively recent development, this is under discussion with no official announcement yet.

Okay, I understand. I currently am running on Centos 7, so then I would need to upgrade the O/S to RHEL8 in order to upgrade D3. Is there a new Linux O/S certification path planned in light of the recent announcement on Centos 8 EOL being 12/31/21?

Hi Steve,
D3/Linux 10.3.2 is only certified for RH/CentOS 8.x and since D3/Linux 10.2 runs on RH/CentOS 7.x an upgrade with data files in place is really not an option. In this case, the section to upgrade with data files in place is included in the Install Guide but it doesn't apply because of the change required at the O/S level. Apologies for the confusion this has caused.
Chris

I am trying to clarify the upgrade process as some of the documentation I have read some documentation that says to do a fresh install with new drives and that the installer will wipe out existing partitions. I have read other bits that indicate that you can upgrade with data in place. I would like to upgrade with data in place (with a good backup of course) but before I destroy something I just want to be sure. Any success stories appreciated.
