Always run the <application>pg_upgrade</> binary of the new server, not the old one.
<application>pg_upgrade</> requires the specification of the old and new cluster's
data and executable (<filename>bin</>) directories. You can also specify
separate
data and executable (<filename>bin</>) directories. You can also specify
user and port values, and whether you want the data linked instead of
copied (the default). If you use linking, the upgrade will be much
faster (hard link data files rather than copying them), but you
will no longer be able to access your old cluster once you start
the new cluster after the upgrade. Link mode also requires that the
old and new cluster data directories be in the same file system.
