Upgrade to 8.3

Info!

This information does not apply to a containerized deployment of . See the relevant user documentation for the other deployment options, under Updating Deployment.

You can perform a standard upgrade from 8.2. If you are using an earlier version, you must upgrade to each successive release until you reach 8.2. For information about how to perform a standard upgrade, see 6. Standard Upgrade Procedure in the Installation Instructions.

You may perform a simplified upgrade directly from 5.1 FR5 and onwards. The simplified upgrade procedure can be used when downtime is not critical and you only wish to migrate configuration data. In all other cases, you should use the standard upgrade procedure. For information about how to perform the simplified upgrade, see 8. Simplified Upgrade Procedure in the Installation Instructions.

Note!

If you are using Couchbase storage, at least one node in the cluster must run the Query Service before the upgrade. This is a Couchbase Server service that is required for N1QL queries.

When you create a new Couchbase cluster, the Query Service is enabled by default.

For further information about enabling Couchbase Server service, see the documentation for your Couchbase version.
