Upgrading Your Amazon Web Services Deployment

Micro Focus does not recommend that ArcSight Intelligence customers attempt to upgrade without consulting with Micro Focus as upgrading at this time will result in loss of baseline data. We are aware that this is inconvenient for customers, and we are currently working on addressing this limitation in an future release.

This release significantly changes the ArcSight Database. You cannot upgrade the database. It must be installed as new. However, this release does enable you to deploy or upgrade Recon and Intelligence in your environment, as well as install either capability for the first time.
