Hi Divyanshu and Micheal,

Thanks for your messages.

We are using solution manager for only maintenance optimizer and LMDB/SLD and CUA. I also want to some changes to my SLD too.

Thanks in advance.

Hi ,

Better go for fresh installation for your scenario. because nothing needs to recover from old system.

Fresh installation would be my choice.

If you are using Incident Management or Change Request Management - then you would probably need to perform an upgrade.

If you are only using Maintenance Optimizer and the LMDB/SLD - A fresh install is nice when you have a good SLD strategy and the LMDB can be populated correctly. Managed System Configuration can take some time as well.

If you have a full-fledged solman system running, them go for an update.

Otherwise, fresh is always the best option.
