Does the current upgrade require something newer than 6.7

Hi, My upgrade failed. Here is what I got... (its never failed before) Any ideas?

OLD VERSION: 5614
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security
Setting up Update Process
Determining fastest mirrors
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base
YumRepo Error: All mirror URLs are not using ftp, http or file.
Eg. Invalid release/repo/arch combination/
removing mirrorlist with no valid mirrors: /var/cache/yum/x86_64/6/base/mirrorlist.txt

I am guessing that the server is running Centos 6 or RHEL 6 and that hit End of Life at the end of November last year and the mirror list servers have been removed.

If your server is running Centos 6, you will have to change the repositories to the Vault and the following link are instructions for doing that.

If the server is running RHEL 6, you will have to contact Redhat for instructions.

As soon as the server can download packages, you should be able to upgrade XI.

Thats perfect! Thank you.

With that being said is there a document that shows after we build a new server, reuse the same IP (after final config) to restore an existing Nagios backup on to a new server from scratch?

To move the settings from one server to another, you can use the Backup and Restore scripts to migrate the settings.
See this link.

Make sure you review page 12 as there are separate instructions for migrating to different operating systems.

Here is another article that has a few examples for setting a static IP address on the server.

Let us know if you have any further questions.

Thank you!!!

Go ahead and close the thread and if we have more questions we will post another question but the docs should cover us. Thank you so much!
