2 Debian/Ubuntu
Overview
This section provides the steps required for a successful upgrade from Zabbix 5.4.x to Zabbix 6.0.x using official Zabbix packages for Debian/Ubuntu.
While upgrading Zabbix agents is not mandatory (but recommended), Zabbix server and proxies must be of the same major version. Therefore, in a server-proxy setup, Zabbix server and all proxies have to be stopped and upgraded. Keeping proxies running during server upgrade no longer will bring any benefit as during proxy upgrade their old data will be discarded and no new data will be gathered until proxy configuration is synced with server.
Note that with SQLite database on proxies, history data from proxies before the upgrade will be lost, because SQLite database upgrade is not supported and the SQLite database file has to be manually removed. When proxy is started for the first time and the SQLite database file is missing, proxy creates it automatically.
Depending on database size the database upgrade to version 6.0 may take a long time.
Before the upgrade make sure to read the relevant upgrade notes!
The following upgrade notes are available:

See database creation scripts. 'mysqli' PHP extension required instead of 'mysql' |
You may also want to check the requirements for 6.0.
It may be handy to run two parallel SSH sessions during the upgrade, executing the upgrade steps in one and monitoring the server/proxy logs in another. For example, run tail -f zabbix_server.log or tail -f zabbix_proxy.log in the second SSH session showing you the latest log file entries and possible errors in real time. This can be critical for production instances.
アップグレード手順
1 Zabbixプロセスの停止
Zabbixサーバーを停止して、データベースに新しいデータが挿入されていないことを確認します。
プロキシもアップグレードする場合は、プロキシも停止します。
2 既存Zabbixデータベースのバックアップ
これは非常に重要なステップです。データベースのバックアップがあることを確認してください。アップグレード手順が失敗（ディスク容量の不足、電源オフ、予期しない問題）した場合に役立ちます。
3 設定ファイル、PHPファイル、Zabbixバイナリのバックアップ
Zabbixバイナリ、設定ファイル、PHPファイルディレクトリのバックアップコピーを作成します。
設定ファイル:
# mkdir /opt/zabbix-backup/
# cp /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf /opt/zabbix-backup/
# cp /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/zabbix.conf /opt/zabbix-backup/PHPファイルとZabbixバイナリ:
4 Update repository configuration package
To proceed with the update your current repository package has to be uninstalled.
Then install the new repository configuration package.
On Debian 10 run:
# wget https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/6.0/debian/pool/main/z/zabbix-release/zabbix-release_6.0-1+debian10_all.deb
# dpkg -i zabbix-release_5.4-1+debian10_all.debOn Debian 9 run:
