Very behind Kernel / SPAM... Need help!!

[Former Member]

HI,

We are very behind in kernel and SPAM. we are on 620 kernel and 0022 spam. I would like to know if we'd wanna upgrade, since the latest kernel is 7... can we upgrade directly to 7 kernel and spam or I have to upgrade spam of 620/0022 to 23 and upgrade kernel from 620 to 640 along with suport packs of 640 and then move forward to 7?

Please help!!

Thanks,

Hi Alf,

You can upgrade SPAM from 620/22 to 620/23 as well as the kernel from 620 to 640. 640 kernel is downward compatible. But Kernel 7 is not , if you want to have kernel 7 you have to upgrade your system to the latest release ( NW04s ) .

Always update kernel before doing support packs , even before updating SPAM. SPAM patches are cumulative, means eg: you can update spam directly from 620/15 to 620.23 without applying 16 to 22 .

Thanks
