Is there a setup of Instructions on how to upgrade Retain 4.10.0.0 to 4.11.0.1?

This is the Retain chapter on doing the upgrade steps - https://www.novell.com/documentation/retain-4.11/install-upgrade/data/upgrade.html 
 You would follow the "Upgrading from 4.9 to 4.11" section. It is well documented and I follow this myself when I do upgrades. 
 
 You could also run Retain on a Windows Server if you lack Linux skills. Here is the chapter on moving Retain from Linux server to Windows Server - https://www.novell.com/documentation/retain-4.11/install-upgrade/data/retain-to-new-server.html#mv-ret-lnx-win

"sim link" = symbolic link. It is a Linux file system concept. Do an Internet search of "What is a Linux symbolic link". You will get very good explanations of what that file system concept is. I have not seen symbolic links used for any of the Retain systems I have worked with in the past 10 years. Most customers allocate a separate large disk (i.e. /dev/sdb1 ) for the "/Retain" root directory used to host the Retain file system. In the Retain upgrade to v4.11.0.1, the Solr 7 index directory is at /Retain/index/ and the new Solr 8 index directory is suggested to be /Retain/index8/ . The documentation is referring to that new directory at /Retain/index8/ . You need to verify that the new Solr 8 index directory is where you want it so you do not run out of disk space.
