Hi All,

Is there any easy route to upgrade from Version 7 of the community edition to version 9, without having to remove everything and start again?

Thanks

Hi,

depending on the installation method (source installation, packages from 3rdparty repositories) this documentation here:

https://github.com/greenbone/gvm/blob/v7.0.3/INSTALL#L369-L403

following by a:

Migrating the Database
----------------------


If you have used Manager before, you might need to migrate
the database to the current data model. Use this command
to run the migration:


$ openvasmd --migrate

should be enough to migrate an OpenVAS 7 installation to OpenVAS/GVM 9.
