The Release 13.3 installer can upgrade your data set from a variety of older releases. The installer detects how many incremental upgrade paths are required to bring your current installation up to Release 13.3.

Note: If you are running a version earlier than Release 12.1.1, consider upgrading to 12.1.1, 12.1.2, or 12.1.3 before you upgrade to Release 13.3. Although the interim upgrade is not a requirement, it simplifies the troubleshooting and restart process if an upgrade step fails.
