## Module 3: Upgrade the TiDB Cluster While The Workloads Are Running
### Step 1. Set the TiUP mirror location
+ Go back to [Terminal 1](ssh://monitor1-ssh#1), run tiup command to change the TiUP local mirror to v8.1.1.
```bash
tiup mirror set tidb-community-server-8.1.1-linux-amd64
```
```output
Successfully set mirror to /home/ec2-user/tidb-community-server-8.1.1-linux-amd64
```
### Step 2. Upgrade your TiDB cluster
+ Run `tiup` command to upgrade your TiDB cluster from v7.5.4 to v8.1.1. While the upgrade is in-progress, switch to [Terminal 2](ssh://monitor1-ssh#2) and [Terminal 3](ssh://monitor1-ssh#3).
```bash
tiup cluster upgrade tidb-demo 8.1.1 --yes
```
```output
Before the upgrade, it is recommended to read the upgrade guide at https://docs.tidb.io/tidb/stable/upgrade-tidb-using-tiup and finish the preparation steps.
This operation will upgrade tidb v7.5.4 cluster tidb-demo to v8.1.1:
will upgrade and restart component " pd" to "v8.1.1",
will upgrade and restart component " tikv" to "v8.1.1",
will upgrade and restart component " tidb" to "v8.1.1",

```
### Step 3. Verify that the INSERT and QUERY workloads are not interrupted
+ Observe [Terminal 2](ssh://monitor1-ssh#2) and [Terminal 3](ssh://monitor1-ssh#3), that the sample application connections and transactions have never been interrupted during the upgrade.
+ Wait until the upgrade command in [Terminal 1](ssh://monitor1-ssh#1) completes to proceed to the next step.
```output
...
Upgraded cluster `tidb-demo` successfully
```
### Step 4. Verify the upgrade result
+ Run the command to get the cluster status and verify your cluster version is v8.1.1.
```bash
tiup cluster display tidb-demo
```
```output
Cluster type: tidb
Cluster name: tidb-demo
Cluster version: v8.1.1
