    Hi,

    The UP9 and it's IF01 can be used to update QRadar but as you can see on the following link, this update can still have inssue in some scenario.

    https://www.ibm.com/community/101/qradar/software/
    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7160518
    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7156279

    You should open a support case including a getlogs and the result of the upgrade pre-check to get a Go/Nogo from support based on your QRadar evironment and context.

    We have seen no issues with UP9 other than the time it takes to change the nobody group from 99 to whatever it is changed to.  Seems to be very stable in comparison with other releases.

    Be aware of the dark theme, and no choice to change it.  There are a few bugs in the theme, just some colors hard to read here and there. 

    Due to all the vulnerabilities in older versions most customers with a vulnerability program have to do this ASAP.
