Upgrade R16B to R18
Please note:
FOXMAN-UN and DIRAC of system release R18 require a RHEL 9.6 operating system. It is recommended to prepare a new separate RHEL 9.6 server or VM for FOXMAN-UN R18. The old RHEL server machine or VM, used by the FOXMAN-UN before system release R18, can be switched off once the system upgrade is successfully completed.
Be aware that if you want to be able to use the FOXMAN-UN R16B and R18 clients on Windows at the same time, they need to be installed on separate machines.
Also refer to the FOXMAN-UN R18 release note for more details on the upgrade procedure.

If you do not have a new server HW or VM available, upgrade via the basic steps:
• Create database backup on installation prior to upgrade and save it to a secure folder.
• Uninstall current FOXMAN-UN R16B.
• Upgrade RHEL OS to version 9.6.
• Install FOXMAN-UN R18 core and add-ons as required. Install R18 client(s).
• Restore database backup from old installation to the new R18 installation.
• Start NEM services (nemstart), then log in from client.
• Recommended: Execute a force poll of each managed node.
• Make sure to still follow the steps listed below (except the one to provide a new server or VM).
