Hi @bKumar,
Upgrading minor versions in MySQL is very easy.

  1. Stop MySQL
  2. Upgrade packages using yum
  3. Start MySQL
  4. Run mysql_upgrade

We always recommend that you use pt-upgrade to test your application queries against a new server running the newer version of MySQL first. But if you just want to quickly upgrade, the above 4 steps are all you need.

Thanks. How can I specify the version that I would like to upgrade to?
