JTIC deployments on any type of platform or cloud service.
KVM or Nutanix deployments on a Virtualized Environment Platform
Any deployments that return the partition size or unsupported hardware error messages when running the pre-upgrade check tool.
Any deployments on cloud services such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft® Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.
You cannot use the standard upgrade process on these deployment types.
