Upgrading Nagios XI 2014R2.7 to 5.2.2 in an Air Gap network

[thur686]

Hello,

I'm trying to upgrade a Nagios XI 2014R2.7 system to 5.2.2 in an Air Gapped network.

The Nagios XI 2014R2.7 system was build from an OVF template downloaded from Nagios.

This Nagios XI 2014R2.7 system has NO CONNECTIVITY TO THE INTERNET. Knowing this I did not try to upgrade via the web UI. I downloaded xi-5.2.2.tar.gz from Nagios, copied it to the system and followed the instructions on how to upgrade Nagios XI using the PDF provided.

After typing ./upgrade the installer immediately started echoing messages to the terminal about timeouts trying to reach mirrors. After 20 minutes of timeout messages I rebooted the system to cancel the upgrade.

Here is a snippet from the upgrade.log

This Nagios system is located in a DMZ with very limited network access with no way to reach any of those servers on the internet. Is there another way to upgrade Nagios XI systems in isolated environments?

Check out the repos at http://repo.nagios.com. We have offline tarballs. I do have to point out 5.2.2 is not built yet, just 5.2.0.

Thanks hsmith. I see that the xi-5.2.2 tar is not yet available offline.

Thanks hsmith. I see that the xi-5.2.2 tar is not yet available offline.

Is it all right if we lock this topic?

Yes this can be closed.

FYI, we hard to 'work around' this air gap problem with a temporary solution.
