Upgrade path for Splunk SOAR (On-premises) privileged installations

This table is designed to show you the stages of upgrading a privileged deployment of Splunk Phantom or Splunk SOAR (On-premises) to the most recent release.

  • Splunk Phantom must be upgraded incrementally from release to release.
  • Splunk SOAR (On-premises) release 5.0.1 through release 5.3.4 can be upgraded directly to release 5.3.6.
  • Splunk SOAR (On-premises) release 5.3.5 and 5.3.6 can be converted to unprivileged.
  • After upgrading to Splunk SOAR (On-premises) release 5.3.5 or 5.3.6 and converting to an unprivileged deployment, it is possible to skip intermediate releases between 5.3.5 and 6.2.1.
  • Clustered Splunk SOAR (On-premises) deployments, or deployments with an external PostgreSQL 11.x database must upgrade PostgreSQL from release 11.x to release 15.x before upgrading Splunk SOAR (On-premises) release 6.2.1 to higher releases. Non-clustered deployments, or deployments using a local PostgreSQL database can upgrade directly to Splunk SOAR (On-premises) release 6.2.2 or higher after converting to unprivileged.

A list of important or breaking changes and the versions where those changes occur is in Splunk SOAR (On-premises) upgrade overview and prerequisites. Review that list before upgrading.
