Upgrade
Here we cover how to upgrade to latest Longhorn from all previous releases.
Upgrading Longhorn
There are normally two steps in the upgrade process: first upgrade Longhorn manager to the latest version, then upgrade the Longhorn engine to the latest version using the latest Longhorn manager.
1. Upgrade Longhorn manager
- To upgrade from v0.8.1, see this section.
- To upgrade from v0.7.0+, see this section.
2. Upgrade Longhorn Engine
After Longhorn Manager is upgraded, Longhorn Engine also needs to be upgraded using the Longhorn UI.
