### Upgrading Geo
#### Upgrading to GitLab 10.1
[Hashed storage](../administration/repository_storage_types.md) was introduced
in GitLab 10.0, and a [migration path](../administration/raketasks/storage.md)
for existing repositories was added in GitLab 10.1.
After upgrading to GitLab 10.1, we recommend that you
[enable hashed storage for all new projects](#step-5-enabling-hashed-storage-from-gitlab-100),
then [migrate existing projects to hashed storage](../administration/raketasks/storage.md).
This will significantly reduce the amount of synchronization required between
nodes in the event of project or group renames.
#### Upgrading to GitLab 10.0
Since GitLab 10.0, we require all **Geo** systems to [use SSH key lookups via
the database](ssh.md) to avoid having to maintain consistency of the
`authorized_keys` file for SSH access. Failing to do this will prevent users
from being able to clone via SSH.
#### Upgrading from GitLab 9.3 or older
If you started running Geo on GitLab 9.3 or older, we recommend that you
resync your secondary PostgreSQL databases to use replication slots. If you
started using Geo with GitLab 9.4 or 10.x, no further action should be
required because replication slots are used by default. However, if you
started with GitLab 9.3 and upgraded later, you should still follow the
instructions below.
When in doubt, it does not hurt to do a resync. The easiest way to do this in
Omnibus is the following:
1. Install GitLab on the primary server
1. Run `gitlab-ctl reconfigure` and `gitlab-ctl restart postgresql`. This will enable replication slots on the primary database.
1. Install GitLab on the secondary server.
1. Re-run the [database replication process](database.md#step-3-initiate-the-replication-process).
See the [updating the Geo nodes document](updating_the_geo_nodes.md).
