Upgrading ElasticSeaarch 7.6 to 7.9

[PawelP]

Hi Craig, hi community,

Could you please let me know what is the right approach to upgrade elastic search?

I’ve just upgraded my Magento from 2.4.1 to 2.4.2, also upgraded composer to v 2, and not I would like to upgrade ES from 7.6 to 7.9.x.

Could I just stop the ES with:
sudo systemctl stop elasticsearch.service

then install and start my new version with the following:

wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-7.9.3-amd64.deb
wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-7.9.3-amd64.deb.sha512
shasum -a 512 -c elasticsearch-7.9.3-amd64.deb.sha512
sudo dpkg -i elasticsearch-7.9.3-amd64.deb

sudo systemctl start elasticsearch.service

Thank you.

Pawel

Good Evening!

Did it work for you?

I followed your steps and got an error on “sudo systemctl start elasticsearch.service” and “sudo systemctl daemon-reload” on the last step.

I you got is solved it would be very helpful to add it cause there isn’t a guide to update to 7.9

Hi George,

I didn’t toutch it yet as I don’t want to mess things up on the server.
I thought that Craig will respond and give me a tip on how to do it.

When you work things out please update the post.
Thank you.
