OP5 Monitor - Offline upgrade of Monitor without ISO

For versions starting with 8.3.1, follow this official documentation instead of the following guide!

If you are in an offline environment but not using CentOS, you may be unable to use the ISO files described in this documentation under "Upgrade with an ISO file and yum (offline)".

The procedure described in this article can be used when upgrading Monitor within the same major version, even on RHEL.

If you want to upgrade OP5 Monitor 7 to 8 you can follow the steps below using the ISO for version 8 on your version 7 system.

Step 1: Download the tar.gz file for the release you want

Get the tarball of the version of Monitor that you want to upgrade to on to the Monitor server via our download resources. Unpack it, in this article we have chosen to unpack it to /media

# tar -xvf op5-monitor-<version>.x64.tar.gz -C /media

Step 2: Create a local repository

Create a new local repository file /etc/yum.repos.d/op5-local.repo that points to the repository in the unpacked tar-ball above. In this example the major version of the RHEL OS is 7 -- remember to replace <version> below.

##### op5 Monitor Local
[op5-monitor-local-updates]
name=op5 Monitor Local Updates
baseurl=file:///media/op5-monitor-<version>/rpm/monitor/centos/7/x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-op5

When this file has been saved, we want to make sure to only use this repository in our update.

Step 3: Run the update

To update your repositories and then trigger an update, run:

# yum clean all && yum --disablerepo=*op5* --enablerepo=*op5-monitor-local-updates* update

Note the output from your yum update, it should be updating Monitor related packages from your local repo.
