Upgrade from 7.7.3 to 8.1 - SORT procedure

    There is also a readme.txt file next to the download file on SORT.

    I read this in the Readme: 

    INSTALLING THE DATA COLLECTOR
    -----------------------------
    To install the data collector:

    1. On the system that will run the data collector, uncompress the
    data collector file. Enter one of the following:

    # sh <filename>.sh

    # ./<filename>.sh

    where <filename> is in the form sort_ followed by the operating
    system type.

    If you already have a data collector installed, the script prompts
    you if you want to back up the sort directory.

    2. At the prompt, specify whether you want to run the data collector.

    PS:
    Any reason why you want to upgrade to 8.1 and not 8.1.2? 
    And why go through steps for NEW installion instead of 'Recommended SORT procedures for upgrades' ?

    Hi Marianne,

    thank you for replying.

    1 - I'm upgrading to 8.1 instead of 8.1.2 because this is the customer's will.

    2 - You are right, I have to go through steps for the upgrade. Anyway the procedure "To create a system-specific installation
    report for UNIX or Linux” is the same.

    Kind regards
