Nagios XI Offline Upgrade

[asiansuntrading]

hi

I install Nagios XI 2014R1.2, offline and ova file. Now i want to upgrade my nagios xi from 2014R1.2 to latest version but I don't want to install the new ova file. (my server don't have access to internet)
What approach do you have?

How was this system originally installed? We have offline repositories that people have been using for the latest version of Nagios XI:
http://repo.nagios.com/

If it wasn't installed using the repository, you'll probably be better off creating a new machine using the instructions on the above site and migrate your configurations/plugins/etc over to the new machine. Be sure to do this with respective development->testing->production machines so as to not negatively affect your monitoring setup.

hi,

thanks for your answer but when i want to install offline rpms, occured an error that i attached it with my reply.

Was your original install from the OVA or from the offline repository? They will not work hand in hand.

From the looks of it though you're missing dependencies which you'll need to provide in an offline fashion.

Yes, my original install is ova file too.
Now, to upgrade my nagios xi, i should install latest version in new machine?
Is the database of latest version similor to Nagios XI 2014R1.2 database? and can I restore my backup on new machine correctly?

Unfortunately, the offline's only go back to 2014R2.6. This means you'll need to get your server Internet access long enough to upgrade to 2014R2.6. Since there will be fewer changes, the upgrade to 2014R2.6 should not take as long as an upgrade to 5.4.2.

Information on the backup and restore is available at https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf. Pay particular attention to NOTE 1 on page 4.

Alternatively, you could use https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... p-Tool.pdf, but that's just going to get you the configs and not anything else.

hi
when i want to upgrade Nagios XI 2014R1.5 to xi-2014r2-0, the system want to connect to http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... x86_64.tar for download phantomjs-1.9.8-linux-x86_64.tar that this file is install on my server!

I think following the instructions provided by @dwhitefield are your best option. Since this machine wasn't installed using our offline RPMs, it's going to run into troubles when you try to upgrade with no internet access.
