Hey @Mayankk , see the answer [here](https://forum.scylladb.com/t/scylladb-version-upgrade/49) first.  
I can think of three options to upgrade from such an old ScyllaDB version:

1. Follow the minor release upgrade path (2.1-\>2.2-2.3 and so on). This would take a while as the version you are running is from 5 years ago. However, this is the only upgrade path that we test.
2. Skip releases when you upgrade. Read the release notes [here](https://docs.scylladb.com/stable/upgrade/upgrade-opensource/index.html) to make sure nothing major changed. I would not do this with a production cluster, it’s risky and we don’t test this.
3. Follow the migration process to upgrade from 2.1 directly to the latest release. You can read more about this [here](https://docs.scylladb.com/stable/operating-scylla/procedures/cassandra-to-scylla-migration-process.html).
