Inplace upgrade Major Postgres versions

Environment:

• Linux OS
• Old version: 9.4
• New version: 11

Steps:

• Install postgres 11 via yum or apt 
• Running both versions simulteneously

/usr/lib/postgresql/9.4/bin/pg_ctl start -D /var/lib/postgresql/11/main -o "-c config_file=/etc/postgresql/9.4/main/postgresql.conf"

#Edit postgresql.conf for new port such as 5433
/usr/lib/postgresql/11/bin/pg_ctl start -D /var/lib/postgresql/11/main -o "-c config_file=/etc/postgresql/11/main/postgresql.conf"

• Stop any version 

#Postgres 9.4
/usr/lib/postgresql/9.4/bin/pg_ctl stop -D /var/lib/postgresql/11/main

#Postgres 11
/usr/lib/postgresql/11/bin/pg_ctl start -D /var/lib/postgresql/11/main

• Inplace upgrade

/usr/lib/postgresql/11/bin/pg_upgrade --old-bindir /usr/lib/postgresql/9.4/bin --new-bindir /usr/lib/postgresql/11/bin --old-datadir /var/lib/postgresql/9.4/main --new-datadir /var/lib/postgresql/11/main -o ' -c config_file=/etc/postgresql/9.4/main/postgresql.conf' -O ' -c config_file=/etc/postgresql/11/main/postgresql.conf'

postgres@erogluproddb:~$ /usr/lib/postgresql/11/bin/pg_upgrade --old-bindir /usr/lib/postgresql/9.4/bin --new-bindir /usr/lib/postgresql/11/bin --old-datadir /var/lib/postgresql/9.4/main --new-datadir /var/lib/postgresql/11/main -o ' -c config_file=/etc/postgresql/9.4/main/postgresql.conf' -O ' -c config_file=/etc/postgresql/11/main/postgresql.conf'

If pg_upgrade fails after this point, you must re-initdb the
new cluster before continuing.

Upgrade Complete
----------------
Optimizer statistics are not transferred by pg_upgrade so,
once you start the new server, consider running:
    ./analyze_new_cluster.sh

Running this script will delete the old cluster's data files:
    ./delete_old_cluster.sh
