Upgrading Analytics with data in external disk

To upgrade to Analytics 2.5.7, for customers with systems configured with the Analytics 2.5.6, or 2.5.5, or 2.5.4 and data present in external disk, the below steps summarizes the upgrade process:

• Unmount the hard disk from Analytics 2.5.6, or 2.5.5, or 2.5.4, refer Unmounting the Hard Disk from older Analytics Version.

When you mount a hard disk in Analytics you need to enter a Secret Key, which will be same as used in the previous version of Analytics and should be remembered before starting the upgrade procedure.
