Upgrade from DXL Broker 6.1.2 or earlier: If you have DXL Broker 6.1.2 or earlier installed, perform the following steps:
1. Delete the registered server: If you have an EDR Telemetry Store registered server, delete the registered server before you proceed with the upgrade.
  Note
  If you do not have an EDR Telemetry Store registered server, proceed to step 3.
  To delete the existing registered server:
  1. Log in to the Trellix ePO - On-prem.
  2. Select Menu → Configuration → Registered Servers.
  3. In the left pane, under EDR Telemetry Store, select the registered server name.
  4. Select Actions → Delete and click OK.

Upgrade from DXL Broker 6.1.3 or later: If DXL Broker 6.1.3 or later is deployed to all DXL Brokers and no EDR Telemetry Store server is registered, perform the following steps:
