Do not upgrade to 9.6, upgrade to at least v11.

Set "wal_keep_segments" high enough on the primary for safety.

Run "pg_basebackup" on the standby.

Create a "recovery.conf" on the standby that has "primary_conninfo" set
and "standby_mode = on".

Start the standby and wait until it has caught up, then switch over.
