+==============
+Upgrading Ceph
+==============
+
+Cephadm is capable of safely upgrading Ceph from one bugfix release to
+another.  For example, you can upgrade from v15.2.0 (the first Octopus
+release) to the next point release v15.2.1.
+
+The automated upgrade process follows Ceph best practices.  For example:
+
+* The upgrade order starts with managers, monitors, then other daemons.
+* Each daemon is restarted only after Ceph indicates that the cluster
+  will remain available.
+
+Keep in mind that the Ceph cluster health will like switch to
+`HEALTH_WARNING` during the upgrade.
+
+
+Starting the upgrade
+====================
+
+Before you start, you should verify that all hosts are currently online
+and your cluster is generally healthy.
+
+::
+
+  # ceph -s
+
+To upgrade (or downgrade) to a specific release::
+
+  # ceph upgrade start --version <version>
+
+For example, to upgrade to v15.2.1::
+
+  # ceph upgrade start --version 15.2.1
+
+
+Monitoring the upgrade
+======================
+
+You can tell whether an upgrade is in progress with::
+
+  # ceph upgrade status
+
+While the upgrade is underway, you will see a progress bar in the ceph
+status output.  For example::
+
+  # ceph -s
+  [...]
+    progress:
+      Upgrade to docker.io/ceph/ceph:v15.2.1
+        [............................] (time remaining: N/A)
+
+You can also watch the cephadm log with::
+
+  # ceph -W cephadm
+
+
+Canceling an upgrade
+====================
+
+You can stop the upgrade process at any time with::
+
+  # ceph upgrade stop
+
+
+Potential problems
+==================
+
+There are a few health alerts that can arise during the upgrade process.
+
+UPGRADE_NO_STANDBY_MGR
+----------------------
+
+Ceph requires an active and standby manager daemon in order to proceed, but
+there is currently no standby.
+
+You can ensure that Cephadm is configured to run 2 (or more) managers with::
+
+  # ceph orch apply mgr 2  # or more
+
+You can check the status of existing mgr daemons with::
+
+  # ceph orch ps --daemon-type mgr
+
+If an existing mgr daemon has stopped, you can try restarting it with::
+
+  # ceph orch daemon restart <name>
+
+UPGRADE_FAILED_PULL
+-------------------
+
+Ceph was unable to pull the container image for the target version.
+This can happen if you specify an version or container image that does
+not exist (e.g., 1.2.3), or if the container registry is not reachable from
+one or more hosts in the cluster.
+
+You can cancel the existing upgrade and specify a different target version with::
+
+  # ceph upgrade stop
+  # ceph upgrade start --version <version>
+
+
+Using customized container images
+=================================
+
+For most users, simplify specifying the Ceph version is sufficient.
+Cephadm will locate the specific Ceph container image to use by
+combining the ``container_image_base`` configuration option (default:
+``docker.io/ceph/ceph``) with a version tag of ``vX.Y.Z``.
+
+You can also upgrade to an arbitrary container image.  For example, to
+upgrade to a development build::
+
+  # ceph upgrade start --image quay.io/ceph-ci/ceph:recent-git-branch-name
