Hello Everyone,we am trying to upgrade postgresql9.6 to postgresql 14 and postgis with below steps followingthe postgis compartibility with postgis.
postgres 9.6( postgis 2.3) -> postgres 10 ( postgis 2.3)  ( postgres upgrade)
postgres 10 (postgis 2.3) -> postgres 10 (postgis 2.5) ( postgis upgrade)
postgres 10 ( postgis 2.5) -> postgres 11 ( postgis 2.5) ( postgres upgrade)
postgres 11 ( postgis 2.5) -> postgres 11 ( postgis 3.1) ( postgis upgrade)
postgres 11 ( postgis 3.1) -> postgres 14 ( postgis 3.1) ( postgres upgrade)

So what i have done so far is .
1) First i have upgrade postgres 9.6 with postgis 2.3 to postgres 10 with same postgis 2.3. i installed postgres 10 and installed postgres contrib, then for postgis, i copied the postgis libraries from postgres 9.6 to postgres 10 and also installed "yum install postgis23_10" and i think its the compartible postgis 2.3 for version 10 i installed made the pg_upgrade successful and as postgres 9.6 and 10 postgis functions are compartible. >>>>>>So from postgres 9.6 to 10, i was able to run pg_upgrade successfully. 2) Upgrading from postgres 10 to postgres 11 but have to upgrade postgis 2.3 to postgis 2.5 as those are compartible.
So far postgres 10 already has  postgis23_10 installed as i did when i wanted to upgrade from 9.6 to 10.So i went ahead and installed "yum install postgresql11-contrib and yum install postgis25_11" so as to see if i canhave an upgrade path from postgis 2.3 to 2.5 as postgres 11 is compartible with postgis 2.5.
Upgrade of Postgis will fail and reading from postgis website i see not all can be upgraded using the alter command.
\dx that list entensions will not bring up postgis.
