How to upgrade without an internet connection?

[Box293]

When running the ./upgrade command, is there a switch to disable checking the internet for updates?

There is not a switch that I am aware of, no. However, from what I can see it's not actually XI that's looking for anything online, but just yum. Furthermore, as far as I can tell all yum is doing is making sure again that you have the prerequisite packages installed, which for an upgrade is likely to be the case, particularly between minor versions. So, while I can't entirely guarantee this, you can probably accomplish what you want safely by commenting out the line for "./1-prereqs" in the upgrade script (it's right near the top).

This worked just as you explained. Handy for doing some testing.

Thanks very much.
