Is a LEAPP upgrade from 7.9 to 8.6 supported?

Posted on

I have a fairly monstrous Ansible playbook going to install all of the required dependencies on a target RHEL 7.9 host in order to use leapp to upgrade its RHEL version to 8.6.

So far, all of the dependencies have successfully installed, until it got to 'leapp-repository'. It is failing with the below:

The target host (as well as the Ansible server) do not have outbound access to the Internet, so my Ansible playbook is first copying and then installing all of the RPM's to the target host using yum with the localinstall flag.

I have been searching the net and haven't found anywhere with the required dependency it is mentioning.

If someone can please help me I would greatly appreciate it! Is this even possible?
