How to upgrade unmanaged Cloudera CDH cluster to 6.1?

I am not able to locate any docs to upgrade unmanaged cluster (running 5.16) via command line like the one below for 5.15  

https://www.cloudera.com/documentation/enterprise/5-15-x/topics/cdh_ig_upgrade_command_line.html

 

Can someone point me to the corresponding doc for 6.1 ?

    1. You can upgrade the packages based cluster but it's very tedious process so not recommended. https://docs.cloudera.com/documentation/enterprise/upgrade/topics/ug_overview.html
    2. The best way is to migrate from packages to parcels and then upgrade. https://docs.cloudera.com/documentation/enterprise/6/latest/topics/cm_ig_migrating_packages_to_parce...
    3. Once you migrated you can use this page to get the CM server running with Web UI. https://docs.cloudera.com/documentation/enterprise/6/6.3/topics/installation.html Regarding your ask "Is there any way by which an Unmanaged 5.x cluster can move to CDH 6.x (may be adding it in Cloudera Manager and then moving to 6.x)?"

    I am thinking that you can build a 1 node CM server and then add these present cluster by adding node in that CM. (Though I haven't tried this on packages)
