Start Milvus

Having finished modifying the configuration file, you can then start Milvus with the file.

Configure Milvus via command line

Alternatively, you can upgrade Milvus configurations directly with the Helm command.

Check the configurable parameters

Before upgrade, you can check the configurable parameters with Helm charts.

Start Milvus

Configure and start Milvus by adding --values or --set in the command for upgrade.
