Hi All, I am using mongoDB( version - 4.4.6) in RHEL 8, could you please share the steps for upgrade DB.

I could see DB version 4.4.20 is available.

  1. stop the services.
  2. unzip the software.
  3. updated new DB version in .bashrc file
  4. start the service
  5. when I check the version it shows as below,

MongoDB shell version v4.4.19

Implicit session: session { “id” : UUID(“8c3d5642-4e61-43be-bd3c-264510d8cc30”) }

Hi Tarun

Thanks for your great help.

I have finished the Single instance Db upgrade now.

Could you please also help me on mongo-HA patching steps?

Happy to hear that you were able to resolve the upgrade issue.

Could you please confirm what do you mean by mongo-HA patching? Are you referring to upgrade your MongoDB replica sets? If yes then please share the current and desired versions.

Also, MongoDB 4.4 series is due to be out of support by February 2024. To make sure that the version/desired version you are using will be supported in the near future, please see
