Well this can be very time consuming but first thing first
1) how is your installation done?
2) is this an HA env?
3) chaining from 6.x to 7 is good but may not play well 
4) database schema changed from Icehouse to Juno so keep that in mind. 

Then you can start thinking on the upgrades. I know some of my coworker had hard time to upgrade. Recommended is rebuild / migrate.
