In order to upgrade to Zabbix 6.0 LTS you need to upgrade your repository package and download and install the new Zabbix component packages (Zabbix server, proxy, frontend, and other Zabbix components). When you start the Zabbix server, an automatic database schema upgrade will be performed. Zabbix Agents are backward compatible therefore, it is not required to install the new agent versions. You can perform the agent upgrade at a later time.
