Postgres major version upgrades on Hybrid Manager—single node or High Availability clusters v1.3
Prerequisites
Have a cluster created with HM up and in a healthy state. To ensure the cluster is in a healthy state, from the cluster's main page, select the Monitoring tab. Now check the cluster and database metrics and make sure everything is operating and all metrics are within the defined acceptable parameters.
It is strongly recommended to perform a full backup of your cluster and validate a comprehensive recovery plan before proceeding.
Upgrade the PG major version of an existing cluster created with HM
First, from the cluster's main page, select Quick Action>Upgrade Cluster and then choose Major Upgrade.
The Upgrade Cluster — Major dialogue window opens.
Select your preferred new major version image.
Review the upgrade path and confirm by selecting the Continue button.
The dialogue window now shows the specific package changes to be expected with the upgrade. Review these and select Upgrade Cluster if everything looks as correct.
The upgrade is applied automatically. You can then use the Monitoring, and Logs tabs to monitor the process and/or troubleshoot any unexpected behavior.
Note
On rare occasions, additional steps might be recommended after the major upgrade is completed for certain product release. Consult the Release notes for the product in question to see if this is necessary in your case.
