Problem conclusion

• The topic ?Upgrading IBM Storage Protect from V7.1 to V8.1 or
  8.2 in a clustered environment for AIX with a shared database
  instance? in IBM Documentation has been updated.
  The following instruction has been removed:
  "If you are installing the server in console mode, at the prompt
  Do you want update this instance?, enter NO for each instance."
  This instruction is removed because, in the referenced upgrade
  environment, the installation or upgrade process does not
  present this prompt. As a result, the instruction is not
  applicable and has been deleted to avoid confusion.
  
  This update will be available in the IBM Storage Protect server
  8.2.1 documentation at the following topic URL:
  https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/storage-protect/8.2.1?topic=usice-up
