This document describes the upgrade process to the latest Variphy release.  


Before Getting Started…

Variphy version 12 and beyond require a minimum of 8GB of memory, older systems that have been upgraded may have less memory allocated to the application. It is recommended that you confirm the value in the variphy.vmoptions configuration file. The file can be found in the root installation directory of Insight, e.g. “C:\Program Files\Variphy Insight\variphy.vmoptions” or “/opt/variphy/apps/insight/variphy.vmoptions” the “-Xmx” value should be no less than 8G: (Older installations the file might be found in /opt/variphy/apps/insight)
