As suggested in previous thread we are opening a new one.

We are getting below error while performing upgrade from 2.5

Response from nagios team:Your system is unable to download packages from Red Hat, which only Red Hat or your admin can solve.

We checked with our system admins and they say that yum is working fine and no problem from their end.
Can you please let us know the full name and repository location for the missing package.So that we can try installing that packages from our end.

Please show the output from the following commands:

Below is the output

tmproot@usa7061lv981>yum install mlocate

This is actually not an issue, per say, with our upgrade script, but that yum does not believe you are registered. Specifically you are erroring on line 453 when we attempt to use yum to install php-mbstring. This is definitely needed for XI due to some changes we have made internally. Are you able to install this from internal repos, or is this an offline install without access to such things?

These servers are not directly connected to inernet as they are in seperate EPN network.

We used proxy setting to connect internet and trying to perform upgrade.

Can you please provide the exact name of package for installing php-mbstring and download location. So that we can download and install it offline.

I believe you need to add the "Optional channel" to your subscriptions:

We have a post about the need for adding the "Optional" channel on our wiki page:

you can close this.Our vendor did some updates from OS end and now upgrade works fine

Awesome, closing.
