Hi, There seems to be a problem upgrading a Spectrum Protect server from 7.1.7.x to 8.1.x, if 8.1.x was released earlier than 7.1.7.x.

Do I have to go to 8.1.0 first? I am working on a test server - RHEL7. It was 7.1.7.000 - installed 7.1.7.300 - no problem. Extracted the 8.1.1 package from Passport so it includes the license file but installing it as an "Update" fails trying to uninstall DB2, I think. Been Googling anything on install/upgrade and there isn't anything special for me to do as far as I know/can find, other than *./install.sh -c*. Don't have any issues with disk space or ulimits. The ever popular "if you have a failure - check these logs and fix the problem" is pretty useless. This is all I can find: ERROR: The deinstallation process cannot continue while there are DB2 instances related to the current DB2 copy. If you need to move up or down a level from this DB2 level, use the installFixPack command from the DB2 image for the level you desire to move to, which will update this copy. If you are only trying to uninstall this DB2 copy, you must either drop the related instance(s) "tsminst1" first, or you can update the instances to another DB2 copy which is at the same version as this DB2 copy, then restart the db2_deinstall command.
