Offline Upgrade from 5.2.9 to 5.5.9

Post by sampaths »

Hi,
We would like to do an offline upgrade from Nagiosxi 5.2.9 to the latest which is 5.5.9
FYI i am doing this on my test vm which is identical to OS version(CentOS 6) and Nagios xi version(5.2.9) running on our Production.
I saw in this documentation on page 3
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... 1524864869

I downloaded the offline tarball
https://repo.nagios.com/nagiosxi-offlin ... _64.tar.gz

these are the only steps.
cd /tmp/rpms
tar xzf nagiosxi-5-x.x.el7.x86_64.tar.gz
cd nagiosxi
./upgrade

when i look at the upgrade script.
all it does is
#!/bin/sh -e

yum -y --nogpgcheck localinstall *.rpm

Is this the right way to do it. please guide.

@sampaths, That's correct. The upgrade script goes over rpms in the folder and installs/upgrades them. The key to set up offline base repositories on the server.
Go ahead and run the upgrade script and look at the console for any errors. If you see any please copy paste them in this thread.
Don't forget to backup XI before upgrading:
