Due to MongoDB upgrade requirements, StorCycle may only be upgraded to StorCycle 4.0 from StorCycle 3.7.0 and above. This is due to the required incremental upgrades in MongoDB 4.0 to MongoDB 4.2. This upgrade process will continue with future versions of StorCycle as the version of MongoDB is upgraded.
Note, that with the End of Life announcement of CentOS, Linux OS support has been changed to RHEL.
