Step 1 – Install Brainspace 7.0
On the new machines designated to run Brainspace 7.0, perform the installation process as defined in the Brainspace 7 Installation Guide.
This can be done ahead of the time that is allocated to perform the 6.x to 7.0 migration, if you are not using an external Postgres database such as Amazon RDS. In such a case, the Postgres DB is managed by a cloud service and not running in the Brainspace environment. This is very important: If using an externally hosted Postgres database that you plan to reuse in the 7.0 environment, you must shut down the 6.x services prior to installing 7.0 in order to avoid having both environments writing to the same database, which can corrupt the database data and will render the 6.x environment unusable.
