Question about Upgrading Bamboo version 5.7.2 to version 6.6.2 on new hardway and OS version?

[Sam Criswell]

We currently run Bamboo v5.7.2 with postgres 9.3.5 DB on RHEL 6.9. We are building new servers with RHEL 7.5 postgres 10.x and Bamboo v6.6.2.

MY question: Is there a way to migrate the data from the old server without doing a stepped upgrade sense we are doing it on new servers, OS version and postgres DB?

Thank you for any help.

Hi @Sam Criswell,

I'm not sure if I understood you correctly but I'll try to share some information about the upgrade:

• An upgrade from 5.7.2 to 6.6.2 will require an intermediate step to 5.14.x (Bamboo Upgrade Guide)
• Considering the scenario you have (assuming you don't want to play with Postgres installations) I suggest this:
  1. Upgrade Bamboo to 5.14 in the same server. The only adjust you will need is setting JDK 1.8. Postgres can still be 9.3.x.- Supported platforms (5.14.x).
  2. Upgrade Bamboo to 6.6.2, also in the same server. It can be done with JDK 1.8 and Postgres 9.3.x - Supported platforms.
     
  3. Clone the instance to the new server using the Alternative cloning scenario approach from Cloning a Bamboo instance.
