System details has the new version
Version: 8.10.0.6
Build Number: 20594451
Policy : 8.10.0Details of the PSPACK 8.10.0.0
Finally this concludes the upgrade
Regarding the issue i faced during the first attemp it has nothing to do with the root / postgres password for sure. I don't believe anyone would face same issue. Will try to get deep into it and see if i can find the cause
