Upgrade, Migrate, and Backward Compatibility Considerations

• Supported DRA Releases for Upgrading to 7.0: You can upgrade vDRA 24.2.0 (mongoDB version,6.0) to vDRA 25.1.0 (mongoDB version, 7.0).

• Un Supported DRA Releases for Upgrading to 7.0: Any DRA version prior to DRA 24.2(mongo 6.0) like DRA 24.1 (mongo 5.0), DRA 23.1/23.2(mongo 4.4), 22.2 (mongo 4.2) and previous versions of DRA doesn’t support direct upgrade to DRA 25.1 (mongo version 7.0)

  Refer the link for upgrading the replica set to 6.0.

  Note	Upgrading to DRA 25.1 is supported only from DRA 24.2.

Mongo Java Driver: Current DRA Version 25.1.0 supports mongo java driver 3.12.9.

The following are the common prerequisites for both upgrade and downgrade:

• Run the following CLI before upgrade:

  #database genericfcvcheck 6.0

  Note	Make sure to run the above CLI before upgrade and / or downgrade on all sites.

• Specify any one of the CLI options:

  • Set: This option checks and sets FCV only on primary.

    Note

    We recommend using the Set option first and then Check to make sure that FCV is replicated on primary members. Upgrade/downgrade should not be triggered if any error is found in the above CLI or FCV is not replicated on secondary members. Make sure to resolve the CLI error, rerun the CLI, and then only proceed for upgrade or downgrade.

  • Check: This option only checks FCV on all members (primary, secondary, and arbiter).

• Run the following CLI before upgrade:

  #database dwccheck

  Note	CLI automatically takes care of the defaultWriteConcern version on all databases.

• Specify any one of the CLI options:

  • Set: This option checks and sets dwc on primary members.

    Note

    We recommend using the Set option first and then Check to make sure that DWC is replicated on primary members. Upgrade/downgrade should not be triggered if any error is found in the above CLI or DWC is not replicated on secondary members. Make sure to resolve the CLI error, rerun the CLI, and then only proceed for upgrade or downgrade.
