Hello, We are planning to upgrade mongdb on various servers. Few questions.
When upgrading you can’t skip major versions you have to go from 4.2 → 4.4 → 5.0 → etc.
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/release-notes/6.0-upgrade-replica-set/
Here are the release notes for 6.0 and it will mention in a version if there are any issues that would make it not recommended for prod. https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/release-notes/6.0/#std-label-release-notes-6.0
Make sure to validate your application driver is compatible with the version of MongoDB you are using
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/drivers/driver-compatibility-reference/
When you say backup and restores which technology are you referencing?
Here is the page that each version of MongoDB and the OS version that is supported
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/administration/production-notes/#platform-support-matrix
I use mongodump in batch files for daily backps.
Thanks alot for your detailed reply
It that case I would look into the mongodump/restore docs as it says to restore/dump to the same major version of MongoDB.
Thank you. I was able to upgrade successfully until 5. Looka like mongo.exe is not available at 6. How do I start mongoshell with 6?
Thanks, appreciate it. I am able to u[grade to 6 but it is asking for driver update when I was testing application. Any help on this?
What programming language and driver are you using in your application?
