Updating an RPM installation v16
If you have an existing EDB Postgres Advanced Server RPM installation, you can use yum or dnf to upgrade your repository configuration file and update to a more recent product version.
To update the edb.repo file, assume superuser privileges and enter:
On RHEL or CentOS 7:
yum upgrade edb-repo
On RHEL or Rocky Linux or AlmaLinux 8:
dnf upgrade edb-repo
yum or dnf updates the edb.repo file to enable access to the current EDB repository, configured to connect with the credentials specified in your edb.repo file. Then, you can use yum or dnf to upgrade all packages whose names include the expression edb:
On RHEL or CentOS 7:
yum upgrade edb*
On RHEL or Rocky Linux or AlmaLinux 8:
dnf upgrade edb*
Note
The yum upgrade or dnf upgrade commands perform an update only between minor releases. To update between major releases, use pg_upgrade.
For more information about using yum commands and options, enter yum --help at the command line.
For more information about using dnf commands and options, see the dnf documentation.
