larachbeg Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Folks Its come to my attention that i'm running a fairly old O/S (6.9.2 dates to spring 2021). Its time i upgraded. Q1) can i migrate DIRECT from 6.9.2 to 6.12.6 ? Or do i need to take it in various steps ?? Q2) reading the 6.12.6 notes, it says theres a known issue with the RealTek NIC 8125. My m/b hosts a RealTek 8111. Am i to assume that i'm ok to proceed, or do i need to include myself in that known issue ?? cheers Richard Quote Link to comment

You can, but always good to read at least the release notes for all major releases, 6.10.0, 6.11.0, etc 30 minutes ago, larachbeg said: Q2) reading the 6.12.6 notes, it says theres a known issue with the RealTek NIC 8125. Only if jumbo frames are used, and it's only for the 8125, other models are fine. 1 Quote Link to comment
Nickatony Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I'm in the same boat as you. Did you make the jump? How did it go? Quote Link to comment
larachbeg Posted December 23, 2023 Author Share Posted December 23, 2023 Sorry, got busy with job hunting, and forgot i had asked this. I will have to upgrade. Some of my plugins now cant upgrade cause i'm on 6.9.2. Will likely go for the big upgrade during Christmas holidays. I'll let you know how it goes, Quote Link to comment
Nickatony Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Welp, I took the plunge a couple weeks ago, and all is well. I followed another thread on here that suggested some pre-activities like backing up the apps directory, VMs, and removing some unsupported plugins. I also ran the upgrade helper and it guided me through most of it. It's worth noting that I have a very straight-forward setup with only a couple docker containers and VMs. Most importantly, I backed-up the USB so that if anything went wrong, I had an avenue to revert back. 2 Quote Link to comment

My server has been in storage for close to a year and a half and I'm about to upgrade from 6.9.2 as well. Might need to open a beer first. Quote Link to comment
