First Solarwinds Upgrade

Hi All,

I hoping to get some clarification on a Solarwinds upgrade, I have not performed one of these before.

Solarwinds is currently running on:

Core-2011.2.1

NPM-10.2.1

IVM-1.2.0

The compatibility matrix suggests that I could upgrade NPM to 10.3 then 10.7, are there any other intermediary steps? The release notes seem to suggest that I need to go 10.2.2 -> 10.3 ->10.3.1-10.4 so and so forth,

Many thanks for any help.
