Step by Step process for Upgrade scripts
We are planning to upgrade from 7.3.1 to 8.6.2, our configuration is as below

Hi @KiranKS,
I believe 7.3.1 environment is already having split schema deployment, If not it is recommended to perform split schema upgrade to 8.6.2.
There are two ways to perform the upgrade
- In Place Upgrade
- Out of Place Upgrade
In Place Upgrade.
Please refer the page numbers between 54 - 57 in the upgrade guide. It is advised to perform the upgrade directly in the machine where DB is deployed/ or in another machine in the network which should have low network latency.

Please revert if this doesn't help.
