We are using gitlab version 7.2.1 CE and installed using omnibus installation. Now we are planning to upgrade to 9.2. Already I have referred this below discussions related to upgrade.
Upgrading GitLab from 7.x to 8.x Upgrade from gitlab-ce 7.10.0 to gitlab-ce-8.15.4 using backup restore
But the official gitlab update page says it is possible to upgrade directly from 6.6 to latest version.
# Updating GitLab installed with the Omnibus GitLab package
See the [upgrade recommendations](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/policy/maintenance.html#upgrade-recommendations)
for suggestions on when to upgrade.
If you are upgrading from a non-Omnibus installation to an Omnibus installation,
[check this guide](convert_to_omnibus.md).
## Version specific changes
It's important to ensure that any background migrations have been fully completed
before upgrading to a new major version. To see the current size of the `background_migration` queue,
[check for background migrations before upgrading](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/update/README.html#checking-for-background-migrations-before-upgrading).
Updating to major versions might need some manual intervention. For more info,
check the version your are updating to:
- [GitLab 12](gitlab_12_changes.md)
- [GitLab 11](gitlab_11_changes.md)
- [GitLab 10](gitlab_10_changes.md)
- [GitLab 8](gitlab_8_changes.md)
