Upgrade VxRail from 4.7.535 to 7.0.240
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to upgrade our vxrail cluster version 4.7.535 to 7.0.240.
Before upgrading, I first noticed that I couldn't use the internet update to upgrade to 7.x, only the upgrade to version 4.7.536 was available. So I decided to download the composite bundle vxrail 4.7.x to 7.0.240 and upload it using the local update but after the extraction I got a message telling me that my vxrail was not compatible with the upgrade to 7.0.240.
I looked at the VxRail v7.0.x Release Notes p.47 (https://dl.dell.com/content/docu98130) and the upgrade seems to be supported.
I also looked at Solve Online (https://solveonline.emc.com/solve/home/51) but there it seems that version 4.7.535 can only be upgraded to 4.7.536 but I noticed that the old version 4.7.532 can be upgraded to 7.0.240...
Can anyone tell me how could I upgrade to version 7? Should I first downgrade the vxrail?
Thank you.

Hello ictlex,
You can’t downgrade to 4.7.532 as it was replaced with 4.7.535. Here is a KB that explains more about that. https://dell.to/3F0L0uj
You can upgrade from 4.7.535 to 7.0.240 doing it local & it should complete without an issue.

I would say that the latest release may be wrong about the upgrade path from 4.7.535 to 7.0.240.
Because 4.7.535 is newer than 7.0.240 and there is no upgrade path in the old release note for 7.0.240.
I think you can upgrade 7.0.241 from 4.7.535.
