@AkshayGadhaveRH Since upgrade is a critical task, I would strongly prefer to have the new procedure tested by a QE. |

Looking at the official RHEL 8 documentation, I see that the steps introduced here are duplicated; everything needed for the upgrade is already described in that documentation.
The procedure should be:
. Back up the `/var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf` and `/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf` files. (BTW, this step is mentioned in the el8 docs)
. Follow RHEL8 docs
. Make sure it's running.

Existing documentation points to the RHEL docs for steps to upgrade external DB. However, some steps need to be tweaked. JIRA: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-37171
