Keep your data planes in sync with your control plane to maintain compatibility and access new features. This page explains version compatibility and upgrade methods.
Starting with Domino 6.1, control planes and data planes are compatible across two regular releases.
A control plane is compatible with the current and one past regular release of the data plane. For instance, control plane 6.2.x will be compatible with data planes 6.2.x and 6.1.x.

Important
| The control plane must always be upgraded before the data plane. Running a data plane version newer than the control plane is not supported. |
Data plane upgrades can be performed using two methods: UI-based upgrades or manual upgrades.
Upgrade from the UI
You can use the Domino UI to upgrade data planes:
-
To get started, go to the admin portal, then click Manage resources > Data Planes.
-
Identify the data plane that needs an upgrade by looking for a status message indicating that the "Data Plane is running an older version" or "Data Plane is running a different version".
-
Click the three vertical dots next to your selected data plane.
-
Select Upgrade from the dropdown menu. If the upgrade option is greyed out, you’ll need to upgrade the Data Plane manually instead.
Upgrade manually
If UI-based upgrades are not available, you’ll need to manually upgrade the Data Plane. See instructions on how to manually upgrade a Data Plane.
