Vertica community edition upgrade (9.2.1 -> 9.3.0)

raulk89

Hi
When downloading community edition, there is a statement regarding patches etc..

"You may not download and use patches, enhancements, bug fixes, or similar updates unless you have a license to the underlying software. Community Edition license does not give you a right to receive such updates."

So, how should I upgrade from 9.2.1 to 9.3.0 for example..?
(centos 7 installation, versio 9.2.1, three node cluster, single database created)

Do I just install newer package, and be done with or isn't it that simple..?

yum install vertica-9.3.0-0.x86_64.RHEL6.rpm
